Dentro il museo: creare esperienze culturali in realtà aumentata | Inside the museum: creating cultural experiences in augmented reality

The contribution presents the didactic experience carried out within the introductory seminar “Inside the Museum” at the Politecnico di Torino. The seminar, a result of the synergy between the disciplines of Design and Exhibit Design and Museography, aims to re-design a chosen environment within the Musei Reali of Turin. The hall, known as “La Rotonda”, has been identified as an exhibition environment in which the use of Augmented Reality could contribute to a more heterogeneous cultural offer. The contribution illustrates how it is possible to integrate the most modern web-based augmented reality technologies to the fruition of museum contents and the visualisation of the exhibition itself. The students’ outcomes allowed them to identify a replicable and scalable workflow that they will be able to reuse in other study paths for the visualisation and communication of project proposals, integrating physical space and three-dimensional models.
