Augmenting Angri: Murals in AR for Urban Regeneration and Historical Memory

Augmenting Angri is a project aiming at preserving the memory of about twenty murals located in the historical centre of the small city of Angri (SA) using ICT and in particular Augmented reality. The project has been carried on in 2020 with the students attending the integrated course of Visual Expression (professors A. Pagliano and P. Vitolo) in the Master’s Degree Course in Design for the Built Environment. Augmenting Angri consists of an innovative valorisation path in Augmented reality which expand the narrative message of the old murales thanks to the digital contents (audio, video, animations and 3D models), sometime replacing them back, in case of totally disappeared murales.
