LiveViewStudio visited Italian sites and in collaboration with partners defined Augmented Reality presentations for 5 locations marked with infoboards: Aquileia, San Mauro, Torcello, Basilica Apostolorum and Altinum. Also partners had the opportunity to check demo geolocation guide available through junaio AR browser and see the Roman and Byzantine sites layered over the Eurosportello's conference office.

Within the project, information on archeological locations belonging to Roman and Byzantine cultural heritage will be available through Junaio, leading augmented reality browser. Using Junaio AR browser and TECHCOOLTOUR channel the user may see information on all locations promoted through the project, virtually layered over the camera liveview. By clicking on POI, additional information as well as direction and map of location are also available.

Unioncamere del Veneto as Lead partner of the Tech-tour project presented the main project objectives and expected results during the workshop organised by the Veneto Region at Villa Contarini on November 16th 2012 within the project ADRISTORICAL LANDS (IPA ADRIATIC PROGRAMME) and within the Workshops ‘Innovation and tourism’ promoted by Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia within the project ‘Tlab - Laboratory of tourism potentials’ (ITALIA-SLOVENIA CROSSBORDER COOPERATION PROGRAMME).  

During the meeting in Rijeka, LiveViewStudio presented visual identity of the project and corresponding crossmedia platform. The aim was to create a solution that would clearely communicate the subject of the project, Roman and Byzantine cultural heritage, while at the same time offer an innovative and joyfull experience to users. 

After the second TCT partners meeting in Rijeka, press conference was held to promote the project and present augmented reality technology...

Full day work: expert team overview, visual identity proposal, partners presentation of sites and monuments... Ideas are taking shapes! It all ended with a nice tour of Rijeka and visit to Tarsatica.
