Abstract

In cultural heritage and the museum sector there has always been a conflict between centre and periphery. Relics are removed from their native, often peripheral site, and collected and stored in central locations. There, only to a limited degree, are they made available for access and public display. In the following we discuss and demonstrate how far we have come in solving this Centre---Periphery Problem. Drawing on our own examples and experiments we present experiences with indirect augmented reality, which we have named situated simulations.
