Augmented reality for cultural heritage: a new dimension for the perceptual knowledge

The paper presents an innovative way of conceiving the museum exhibit particularly useful in those territorial contexts in which it is possible to simultaneously show the place of discovery of the exhibit n (contextualizing it through the virtual reproduction of the historical scenario) and the find itself adding to this the possibility of narrating one's own history and characteristics. The entire meta-project is designed for the Pietraroja site in the province of Benevento which would acquire considerable cultural interest thanks to the potential of augmented and mixed reality. The main idea is to use this new technology to involve the user (observer) by rebuilding the environment and the peculiarities of the finds. The perception of the augmented elements will be possible by design a specific application for smartphone that everyone gets in its pocket
