Recolouring The Past by Augmented Reality: Domain-specific requirements analysis for the design of a feasible AR application supporting visitors’ understanding of the colouring of early-medieval wall paintings

Abstract

The project Forgotten Colours analyses colour pigments of medieval wall paintings from diverse churches in the northeastern alpine region. One goal is to communicate the findings via an AR application. The main system requirement is to superimpose a digital layer displaying the original polychromy of selected scenes. This bachelor thesis aims to provide a value-oriented requirements analysis. The intention is to define and implement a project-tailored approach involving domain experts and AR designers in a fruitful dialogue during the early design process.
