ALIPH AR is a mobile augmented reality application that complements a touring physical installation about protecting cultural heritage in areas of conflict. The project conceived together with the international NGO ALIPH and is aimed at raising awareness and funding for protection of cultural heritage.
Together, they form an immersive exhibition that tells the story of how heritage has been, and continues to be, a collateral victim of conflict, and increasingly, a target or a weapon of war. It also testifies to how the protection of heritage in countries in conflict or in post-crisis situations can contribute to generating hope, initiating intercultural and interreligious dialogue, strengthening sustainable economic and social development, and building peace. Finally, by witnessing the beauty of some of the world’s heritage through this immersive exhibit, we are reminded of our common humanity.
This app contains both a location-based mode that can be used at the physical exhibition, as well as an at-home, standalone mode that can be experienced anywhere. Download the app and scan the augmented reality markers on the panels to reveal extra information including 3D models of protected cultural locations and videos.
