This article is about the research of digital narrative methods and technics aiming at their application with the usage of augmented reality (AR) technology. Result of the research is the design and development of an AR application of digital narrative, for outdoor usage, and in particular onto a façade of a building in the city of Thessaloniki. Firstly, the characteristics of augmented reality technology are investigated, in order to define its technical capabilities and the type of content that can be used. In addition, other means of digital narrative are examined with the intention of defining the methods of narration that are used and the way these can be transferred or adjusted in augmented reality. Additionally, examples of existing AR narrative applications are studied, in order to outline methods that are already tested. Next, the available software for creating AR applications are presented, in order to locate the ones that can be used best for outdoor usage and large object recognition. The article continues with the description of the design and development of the AR application of digital narrative, the narrative methods that are used and the technical problems encountered. Finally, an evaluation of usability and content is conducted, through questionnaire, and the results are presented.
