SheLeadersVR (Creative Europe) – Testing the AR application on locations

The SHE­Lead­er­sAR appli­ca­tion aims to visu­al­ize the places where the 5 queens used to live to the vis­i­tors on their mobile devices. Present­ly these loca­tions con­tain only more or less pre­served remains of cas­tles, church­es, palaces, and monas­ter­ies, so the vis­i­tors can hard­ly imag­ine how they looked in the past.

The AR appli­ca­tion shows the 3D recon­struc­tions of those remains and the queen telling a short sto­ry about them. The queens invite the users to muse­ums where the VR appli­ca­tion is set up to learn more about them and their lives. After each AR vis­it, the user gets a badge that should obtain some ben­e­fits while vis­it­ing the museum.

In these weeks we test­ed the AR appli­ca­tion on all 5 loca­tions (Bobo­vac in Bosnia and Herze­gov­ina, Kruše­vac in Ser­bia, Cetinje in Mon­tene­gro, Skop­je in Mace­do­nia, and Kru­je in Alba­nia). It works very well and some small issues will be fine-tuned soon.

In this project, my organization HAEMUS is involved as a partner engaged in organization and logistics for the part of the story that takes place on the territory of Macedonia, and I am additionally involved as a scientific consultant of the SheLeadersVR project.
