ARgos - Augmented Reality in Volos

The 3rd EINS
Summer School:
From Smart Cities to Engaged Citizens
The third summer school organized by the project EINS, the FP7 Network of Excellence in Internet Science, was entitled "From Smart Cities to Engaged Citizens". The goal of EINS was to coordinate and integrate current research initiatives aimed at achieving a deeper multidisciplinary understanding of the development of the Internet as a societal and technological artefact, whose evolution is increasingly intertwined with that of human societies. Its main objective is to allow an open and productive dialogue between all disciplines that study Internet systems under various technological or humanistic perspectives, which are being transformed by the continuous advances in Internet functionalities and applications.

The project ARgos - Augmented Reality in Volos During the 3rd EINS Summer School, opened an oportunity to develop another cultural hARitage project, using the historical and mythological information about the region of Volos.

This project aims to investigate how augmented reality tool can be used for cultural tourism, with mythology and city history’s content applied for Volos / Greece.
