Digital Cultural Heritage: From Educational Experience to the Artefact in Augmented Reality

Several national and international research studies have highlighted important aspects linked to the application of augmented reality in the educational contexts, with particular reference to education concerning the cultural patrimony. The augmented reality ambients indeed offer different training opportunities: some with cognitivefinalities others in terms of active participation, others, again by means of the realisation of experiences of an expressivecreative kind with high coefficients of imagination. Specifically speaking, this contribution aims to propose the results of research carried out on three case studies, relating to school projects that are situated in thefield of a process of knowledge, participation and recreation of the cultural patrimony in ambients of augmented reality through the construction of new digital artefacts.
