Result description
AR delivers a web-based mobile AR experience (QR/browser access) that combines on-site interpretation with crowdsourced data collection to support continuous cultural heritage monitoring and digital model updating. It provides an end-to-end workflow including informed consent, site-specific AR content delivery, structured user feedback, and an automated backend pipeline that processes visitor photos to enhance 3D reconstructions over time. It includes an administration panel and expert validation tools to ensure quality assurance of incoming observations. It is designed to feed KBP with additional documentation, surface observations within the DSS, and support visualisation updates in the Risk framework. Combined with expert monitoring technologies it expands monitoring coverage and engagement with a low hardware/software barrier, supporting early identification of small issues when expert inspections are limited.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- To raise awareness and possibly influence policy
- Help in technical expertise
- Collaboration
We seek pilot heritage sites to deploy AR for visitor-based monitoring and validate consent, content delivery and QA workflows. We also look for partners with visitor-experience/AR content expertise and IT integrators to connect crowdsourced observations and photo pipelines with knowledge bases and DSS/digital-twin environments. Support from authorities will help align participatory monitoring with governance, privacy and reporting needs.
- EU and Member State Policy-makers

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
Web-based mobile AR solution developed in TRIQUETRA with QR/browser access, consent workflow, site-specific AR content delivery, structured feedback, and automated photo-processing to support incremental 3D model improvement. Includes admin panel and expert validation for QA, and integration points to feed KBP documentation, surface observations in DSS, and update visualisations.
Yes — QR/browser delivery reduces deployment friction, and the workflow (consent, content, validation, pipelines) can be replicated across many sites, languages and campaigns with central administration.
AR can be sustained as a service for heritage sites combining visitor experience and participatory monitoring. Models include: (a) SaaS licensing per site (AR content + admin + QA tools + backend processing), (b) content creation and localisation services, (c) optional managed moderation/validation services, and (d) integration packages to connect outputs to DSS/digital twins and reporting dashboards. The value comes from expanded monitoring coverage at low cost, early identification of issues, and improved visitor engagement—supporting recurring subscriptions and periodic content refreshes.
