On the same matter I am glad to inform you that the ARCHEOGUIDE
Consortium has just delivered the final prototype of the ARCHEOGUIDE
System ("Augmented Reality On Site Guide") base on a project funded by
European Commission.
With this system is actually possible to see in Olimpya (Greece) temples
reconstructed over the real remains.
Italy with Pompei, Portugal, Germany and France are going to realize
similar tests.
