As part of an initiative from the foundation to support research projetcs in Rio de Janeiro State – FAPERJ, Brazil, two augmented reality (AR) experiences will be briefly described in order to disseminate the use and application of AR technologies for a non-academic audience. For this article It was selected two experiences done through the combination of 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry and VR\/AR glasses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first experience was done in the Amazon territory, more specifically in the Marajo island, State of Par\u00e1. There, as part of the \u201cAmazonizar\u201d project of PUC Rio, it was possible to visit the \u201cMuseu do Maraj\u00f3\u201d, idealized and created by an Italian Priest called Giovanni Gallo. The museum collection has a very important collection of funerary urns from the Marajoara Culture. (https:\/\/museus.pa.gov.br\/museus\/163\/museu-do-maraj)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When visiting the museum, It was possible to demonstrate to the intern students of the Museum, an AR 3D model of a funerary urn, also from the Marajo\u2019s culture, which belonged to the archeological collection of the National Museum of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. This urn was 3D scanned through laser 3D scanner in 2015, previous to the unfortunate fire which destroyed part of the museum\u2019s collection in 2018 (this urn was also destroyed by the fire). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having the 3D virtual file and working with the \u201cunreal engine\u201d it was possible to insert the 3D virtual model of a wall with several ancient drawings on an AR equipment. The experiment shown an urn inserted on a real ambiance of similar urns of the museum at the Marajo museum\u2019s collection. The result to add another funerary urn (even virtually) to the permanent collection of the Museum of Marajo was described as \u201cmagic\u201d by the students, who, after the experience became very enthusiastic about the possibilities brought by 3D technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
