TL;DR: A mobile augmented reality application which runs at 14 FPS for 320x240 frames on a Nokia N95 smartphone and describes the optimizations and the requirements needed to obtain these results on mobile devices.
Abstract: We present MARCH, a complete solution for enhanced cultural heritage discovery using the mobile phone. Simply point the camera of a mobile device at prehistoric cave engravings. Then MARCH augments the captured images with the expert's drawings, highlighting in real time the animal engravings, which are almost impossible to observe with the naked eye. We have created a mobile augmented reality application which runs at 14 FPS for 320x240 frames on a Nokia N95 smartphone. We describe the optimizations and the requirements needed to obtain these results on mobile devices.

TL;DR: This paper presents the design and implementation of a novel multipurpose system for creating single smart spaces (), a new concept of intelligent environment, that relies on innovative sensors board named smart crickets and an ad hoc proximity strategy; by following the Internet of Things paradigm the proposed system is able to transform a cultural space in a smart cultural environment to enhance the enjoyment and satisfaction of the involved people.
Abstract: The relationship between cultural heritage domain and new technologies has always been complex, dialectical and often inspired by the human desire to induce these spaces not created for that purpose, to pursue technological trends, eventually offering to the end-users devices and innovative technologies that could become a ‘dead weight’ during their cultural experiences. However, by means of innovative technological applications and location-based services it is possible to shorten the distance between cultural spaces and their visitors, nowadays determined by the purely aesthetic and essentially passive fruition of cultural objects. This paper presents the design and implementation of a novel multipurpose system for creating single smart spaces , a new concept of intelligent environment, that relies on innovative sensors board named smart crickets and an ad hoc proximity strategy; by following the Internet of Things paradigm the proposed system is able to transform a cultural space in a smart cultural environment to enhance the enjoyment and satisfaction of the involved people. To assess the effectiveness of our solution, we have experienced two real case studies, the first one situated within an art exhibition indoor, and the second one concerning an historical building outdoor. In this way, technology can become a mediator between visitors and fruition, an instrument of connection between people, objects and spaces to create new social, economic and cultural opportunities.
