Abstract

This paper presents ARCHEOGUIDE, a novelsystem offering augmented reality tours in archaeologicalsites. The system is based on wearable and mobilecomputers, networking technology and real-time computergraphics and 3D animation and visualization techniques.The user can participate tours adapted to his profile andautomatically receive information based on his positionand orientation as calculated by a hybrid technique makinguse of GPS, compass and image-based tracking. The usercan interact with the device via multi-modal interactiontechniques and request navigation and other information.ARCHEOGUIDE has been tested at the archaeologicalsite of Olympia in Greece.
