The InThe Influence of Interactive Augmented Reality in the Visual Recollection of Art

Abstract

Abstract. Several musea already use AR to guide visitors around their exhibitions, in addition to written guides or audio guides. Although these passive ways of receiving information are commonly used in musea, it has been shown that learning via interaction improves memory. Interacting with paintings is generally not possible, since most paintings cannot be touched without causing damage. AR provides a new way to look or interact with such art pieces. In this thesis, it is examined whether interacting with art via AR will enhance the recollection of said art. This is done with an app, the RecolourAR app, and a visual recollection test, both free recall and cued recall. No signi cant e ect of the mode (iAR, AR, no app) was found on the recollection scores.
