AR as a Tool for Teaching to Architecture Students

Information and communication technology (ICT) are nowadays an integral part of daily life. Training and educational activities are among the different areas that widely profit from the use of these tech-nologies.The proposed contribution aims to develop an augmented reality application for accessing docu-mentary sources used in the teaching of drawing disciplines in architecture courses at the University of Cagliari. Much information is produced and collected in drawing classes, primarily in the form of representations, which are either adopted by the professors year after year or elaborated by the students during the classes.This collection of materials represents a significant legacy that is typically used to enhance instruction, despite certain obstacles in disseminating it among students.As a result, it was decided to use some of the publications from the core bibliography for a student studying the Castello district and its architecture as an “access point” to the knowledge.
