The paper presents a methodology for the documentation, preservation, and enhancement of street art through augmented reality technologies. The approach combines photogrammetric survey and image-based tracking techniques to generate high-resolution digital representations of artworks, which are then integrated into an AR application developed with Unity and Vuforia Engine. The system allows users to access contextual information, interpretative content, and multimedia data directly overlaid onto the physical artworks, enhancing their understanding and accessibility. The research is tested on selected street art works in Naples, demonstrating how AR can support both the conservation of ephemeral urban art and the creation of interactive cultural itineraries, while also highlighting the potential for scalable, georeferenced applications and WebAR developments.
