Recently, I published a co-authored journal paper based on the iMareCulture EU project at Personal and Ubiquitous Computing. The paper is entitled “A hybrid augmented reality guide for underwater cultural heritage sites” and presents a novel augmented reality guide for divers to present ancient lost buildings at underwater archeological sites. The prototype system runs on a smartphone sealed in a waterproof case and uses a hybrid approach (markers and inertial sensors) to localize the diver on the site.
Accuracy of the tracker is measured in a laboratory in a simulated underwater environment. The application was experimentally evaluated at an underwater archeological site in Italy in Baiae underwater archaeological park. A pilot study with ten expert divers was performed, and their feedback, obtained directly in water, showed that this new experience significantly enhances user experience in underwater archeological sites.
