“…Previous studies during the last decade, e.g. the use of AR children to imagine certain artifacts and situations related to historical contexts [27], have shown us the perceived enjoyment and usefulness of AR technology in CH contexts [28] as well as enhanced customer value [29]. The presented study provides data that confirm the particular timeliness of mobile AR usage among cultural sites.…”

The growing number of mobile augmented reality applications has been favoring its awareness and usage among diversified areas. Focusing on cultural heritage applications, this study presents an evaluation of a mobile augmented reality application tested at Conimbriga, an archaeological site. The prototype developed for this purpose, named DinofelisAR, allowed users to view, over 360 degrees, a majestic reconstruction of a Forum from the Roman Era superimposed over its current ruins. Thus, users were able to keep perceiving the present-day surroundings of a Roman city in ruins while, at the same time, had the possibility to explore the matching virtual model. The results presented, arising from 90 participants involved in this evaluation, praise the sense of opportunity for new augmented reality solutions targeted at cultural heritage sites.

“…A literature review was conducted focused on multisensory applications in CH, with VR and/or AR, among the last decades. Most common multisensory applications are indoor and based on VR [19], [25]- [27], but some interesting AR installations alluding to multisensory experiences are found, such as the "Multisensory Art Gallery", at the Tate Britain art gallery in London, United Kingdom [28], the "Refugi 307" bomb shelter, from the Spanish Civil War [29], and the mobile multisensory AR project M5SAR in Faro, Portugal [30].…”

Development and Evaluation of an Outdoor Multisensory AR System for Cultural Heritage

Enhancing tourist visits to cultural heritage sites by making use of mobile augmented reality has been a tendency in the last few years, presenting mainly audiovisual experiences. However, these explorations using only visuals and sounds, or narratives, do not allow users to be presented with, for example, a particular smell that can be important to feel engaged or to better understand the history of the site. This paper pursues the goal of creating an experience that puts the user in a scene planned to evoke several stimuli with SensiMAR prototype-a Multisensory Augmented Reality system that aims to be used in cultural heritage outdoors. When using SensiMAR, the user will be involved with visual reconstructions, surrounded by the soundscape of ancient times, and is exposed to a particular smell very common that time. Given the novelty of this proposal, ascertaining the usability of such a system was raised as a foremost demand. Thus, in addition to its development and implementation specifications, an experimental study was conducted to evaluate the usability of the system in end-users' perspective. The results obtained from random visitors of an archaeological site were analysed according to their sex, age, previous experience with augmented reality technology, and provided condition-audiovisual condition, and multisensory condition, with visual, audio, and smell stimuli. Results were collected from a total of 67 participants and show that this multisensory prototype achieved good usability results across all groups. No statistically differences were found, demonstrating good usability of the SensiMAR system regardless of their sex, age, previous experience with the technology or provided condition. INDEX TERMS Mobile Augmented Reality, Multisensory in Cultural Heritage, Usability of Multisensory AR Outdoors I. INTRODUCTION L ITERATURE supports the use of augmented reality (AR) for enhancing visitors' experiences in cultural heritage (CH) contexts for multifarious reasons. It has been demonstrated to evoke feelings of pleasure and arousal [1], to promote cultural heritage [2], to increase multicultural place meaning and openness to other cultures and traditions [3], to enable enjoyable informal learning [4] and, in addition to these social, epistemic and educational values, many other benefits came across such as economic, experiential, cultural and historical value [5]. Among the diverse AR solutions proposed and implemented in CH contexts, many of them are found as being mobile approaches, such as in urban heritage for tourism in Dublin, Ireland [6]; in travel guides
