Abstract

Because of a lack of awareness about the history and heritage of ancient Egyptian civilization. Tourists sometimes suffer from the lack of knowledge of historical information about statues and hieroglyphic language inside museums. The forgotten Egyptian Museums need some actions and excitement to bring them back to life. Egypt has a treasure of museums that hide the beauty of history and cultural heritage.
Industry 5.0 and the research introduce a new interactive image for those museums to back them to life, not only to re-open them but to enjoy and live in these ages and history to feel the experience. Augmented Reality (AR) will help those museums. It uses technology to superimpose images, text or sounds on top of what a person can already see. It uses a smartphone or tablet to alter the existing picture, via an app. The user stands in front of a scene and holds up their device. It will show them an altered version of reality. Augmented reality has found many unbelievable uses in various industries like the E-Commerce industry, Real Estate Industry, Prototyping Expenses, Education and Tourism. Our case study is using AR technology in tourism.
AR is a powerful visualization tool. As it allows bringing an object or concept into a reality that is otherwise imagined, inaccessible or difficult to grasp, and can even help to make the invisible visible. In this way, this research collects abandoned Egyptian museums and explains how AR brings them to life. That will let you live the whole experience and let the community understand the cultural heritage with these examples of attractive case studies.
