Abstract

Through the development of an Internet of Things system, it will be possible to recognize how technology has the ability to expand objects, moments, knowledge, stories, and places. All these components are part of cultural heritage, and its amplification is what it is intended with the development of an IoT system, also using georeferencing and augmented reality technologies. The article establishes the relationship that it is possible to create between the cultural heritage of a village located in the interior center of Portugal, named Amiais, and the technological development of an IoT system, which then promotes cultural heritage and contributes to the evolution of the territory as smart. For this purpose, ethnographic research and the survey of the local cultural heritage are used and, subsequently, the way in which technology-based systems impact the territory and people. It was of great relevance the contact of the project team with Amiais’ inhabitants, as well as with tourists and stakeholders. But it was also determinant the contact with the territory and with the elements of cultural heritage.
