ArchaeoAR

ArchaeoAR app let you:
- visualize the archaeoastronomical phenomena, that means to observe the movements of the stars and their connections with some particular ancient monuments or the effects they create on specific landscapes;
- explore the ancient buildings, approaching and manipulating 3D models,
- simulate the position of the sun on certain days and at certain times, e.g. equinoxes or solstices;
- observe the position of the shadows;
- watch video-lessons starting from the book pictures showing a "play" icon.

ArchaeoAR app has been design by METID - Politecnico di Milano and developed by DIAPASON DIGITAL on the basis of the research of prof. Giulio Magli, delivered in the Massive Online Open Course "Archaeoastronomy" (www.coursera.org and www.pok.polimi.it)  and in the book "Archaeastronomy. Introduction to the Science of Stars and Stones" (2016, Springer).

The app allows you to scan the pictures of the book: related videos will appear on your device’s screen just over them.

You can also view 3D ancient monuments by accessing them directly from your handheld  device, using the app’s menu.
