Digital Visualization of Heritage through an Augmented Reality app
iiterate Technologies worked on a project called “Dronah XR Application” which aimed to digitally visualize heritage through the means of Augmented Reality. The project started out as an attempt to visualize heritage spaces in all their true glory. Be it relics, artifacts, or entire monuments, the mission statement was to visualize these lost world treasures and bring them out into the world to notice and celebrate.
The team at iiterate Technologies developed a proprietary AR app that helps in visualizing the treasure in broad daylight, right in the palm of your hand. The paintings and artifacts are 3D scanned and dropped into the app. The palace is an intricate architectural marvel, with lots of ornamental detail that is difficult to digitalize. The team developed mesh modeling techniques to minimize the model complexity without sacrificing architectural detail.
The Dronah XR project has many use cases. One such use case is providing interactive navigation experiences for tourist destinations, malls, shopping complexes, public spaces, plazas, etc. This project provides extra revenue generation and ease of access for visitors from any part of the world.
