Development of AR Application to Promote the Historical Past of the Native Land

Abstract

The article demonstrates the possibilities of using augmented reality technology to create a software application in the field of local lore “Monuments of the city of Zhytomyr”. The AR program “Monuments of the City of Zhytomyr” was implemented, the main task of which is to simplify the submission of information about people whose monuments are located in the city of Zhytomyr. To do this, nine 3D models were created, for each of which information was selected about the person to whom the monument is dedicated. Photographs of the sites were also taken for further use as triggers. Audio help is recorded for each model. The proposed development can be used to promote tourism and the history of the city. Augmented reality technology in the educational process has only just begun to develop and be increasingly used. We believe that this software application can be used in the educational process for such disciplines as “Local History”, “Culturology”, etc.
