AR 3D PORTAL

AR3D

3D AR virtual portal is created using Augmented Reality technology for the Croatian cultural heritage promotion. We have created dynamic, humanoid virtual 3D model of Giorgio da Sebenico - the Cathedral of St. James’ medieval builder in the City of Sibenik, which performs in the real time and at actual location. Users visiting the City of Sibenik, when coming to the Cathedral of St. James see the Giorgio da Sebenico's monument located on the left of the Cathedral, and the UNESCO plaque World Heritage Site, located on the right of it. After they download and start the application (following the instructions provided on the wall next to the monument), they can point their phones or tablets to the monument, next to which a large 3D figure of the medieval cathedral builder appears ("emerges from the floor"). After the virtual 3D model greets them and welcomes them to Sibenik, he begins to tell a story about himself, about building up the Cathedral, its uniqueness and significance. If someone passes or stands next to the virtual Giorgio da Sebenico, the device displays both that person and Giorgio on the screen, as if it is a real situation. The user experiences the same when pointing the phone/tablet to the Cathedral.
