TaMpere
Bringing History to Life with Augmented Reality
The Tampere pilot will create an immersive AR experience that allows residents and visitors to explore the city’s rich history through digital storytelling. By integrating historical data with Extended Reality (XR), this initiative enhances cultural engagement and makes heritage more accessible to all.
Mikko’s story
Mikko, a student in Tampere, often felt disengaged during history lessons. Through an interactive augmented reality experience developed by the x-CITE project, Mikko was able to explore Tampere’s historical sites vividly, such as the old market square and iconic local landmarks. By virtually experiencing historical events and immersing himself in compelling stories, Mikko developed a genuine interest in his city’s heritage. His newfound enthusiasm not only transformed his school assignments into meaningful explorations but also inspired classmates, significantly boosting youth involvement in local cultural activities.
