Releituras em realidade aumentada: desenvolvendo uma experiência digital interativa para o Museu Histórico Jacinto de Sousa

Abstract

Over the years, museums have gradually changed the way they operate, as society has also evolved in its habits and customs. With the emergence of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and the integration of digital technologies into people's daily lives, there is a need to use these tools to benefit cultural institutions, in order to promote them and bring them closer to a population that is constantly connected to the internet and their electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Taking this into account, this research sought to develop an interactive digital experience for the Jacinto de Sousa Historical Museum (MHJS), using the photograph “Painting Studio” and reinterpretations of the works of the artist from Quixadá, presented in augmented reality (AR). Made with the A-frame framework and the AR.js library, the experience was built based on visits to the museum and interviews with students from Virtual Reality 2024.2, authors of the reinterpretations that pay homage to the artist and that make up this research. Subsequently, it was submitted to usage evaluations, which identified that its use was satisfactory, but some points need to be improved to enhance the user experience.
