TL;DR: This study investigates how value is created by this new and cutting-edge technology and provides a practical guide for enhancing customer value in the whole value creation process.
Abstract: The heritage industry often seeks new ways to attract and engage new visitors. However, managers of Cultural Heritage sites face a lack in marketing and competiveness. One of the ways to obtain competitive advantage is the investment and implementation of Augmented Reality on-site. This study investigates how value is created by this new and cutting-edge technology and provides a practical guide for enhancing customer value. An increased understanding of the topic should result in a growing adaption. Although there is research in the field of Augmented Reality and Cultural Heritage, the papers focus only on certain factors of value creation. The purpose of this study was however to provide a holistic overview of the whole value creation process. This represents a completely new area of research and opens a wide range of further research opportunities.

TL;DR: A new taxonomy enabling these environments to be classified by its purpose, ie.
Abstract: This article has a dual aim: firstly to define augmented reality (AR) environments and secondly, based on our definition, a new taxonomy enabling these environments to be classified. After briefly reviewing existing classifications, we define AR by its purpose, ie. to enable someone to create sensory-motor and cognitive activities in a new space combining the real environment and a virtual environment. Below we present our functional taxonomy of AR environments. We divide these environments into two distinct groups. The first concerns the different functionalities enabling us to discover and understand our environment, an augmented perception of reality. The second corresponds to applications whose aim is to create an artificial environment. Finally, more than a functional difference, we demonstrate that it is possible to consider that both types of AR have a pragmatic purpose. The difference therefore seems to lie in the ability of both types of AR to free themselves or not of location in time and space.
