Abstract

This paper presents a platform to create complex VR and AR cultural experiences in an easy way. Each experience is composed by steps that contain a virtual scene and that are connected among them via end-user interactions. The platform presents three pillars that allow the author to configure the experience: the authoring tool, the experiences server and a mobile app. A use case consisting in a treasure hunt in a city has been developed to validate the platform.
