Summary/Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) technologies offer new ways for presenting cultural heritage. As a technology platform and interaction style, AR is still in its infancy. Many applications are mere proof-of-concept rather than robust solutions integrated into mu- seums’ existence. But this does not diminish its potential for creating engaging and meaningful experiences for visitors. AR may have been overhyped to begin with but we are now entering a more serious phase during which its usefulness will become evident. A new concept of mobile application based on AR is developed using the visitors’ smartphones and tablets. Instead investing in expensive hardware, museums strategies for modernization include software application and online database which are part of an automated self-aware guide.
