Evaluation of Augmented Reality Projects For The Dissemination of Heritage Information And The Case of @Rkademi

Abstract

As a type of virtual heritage, the development of Augmented Reality (AR) projects that intended to communicate the significance of architectural heritage requires evaluation to contribute to the field of both heritage and virtual heritage. This paper aims to define the role of evaluation for virtual heritage projects and contribute to this subject by discussing the case study of @Rkademi, which was held in December 2014, and the findings of the evaluation process. The findings reveal that although the evaluation process was not embedded with the application, participants benefited from the evaluation process, and it gave researchers feedback and the opportunity to enhance the application for the future.
