Mobile Augmented Reality edutainment applications for cultural institutions

The paper focuses on current practice regarding the application of mobile Augmented Reality (AR) technologies for enabling learning in the context of cultural heritage. It also presents ARmuseum, an application developed for the Museum of Industrial Olive Oil Production in Lesvos (MBEL). Finally, it discusses a number of issues related to the evaluation of mobile AR applications for cultural institutions.
