Interactive virtual reality and augmented reality application for museums

Abstract

Augmented reality technology is a technology that can be used in all areas of life and will make our lives easier. With the innovation brought by technology, it is possible to use this technology in many areas. In this study, an application that includes virtual reality and augmented reality has been developed for museums that are losing their attractiveness and the number of visitors is decreasing day by day. With the developed application, historical artifacts, people who left their mark on history, etc. can be viewed in three dimensions.
