SPIRIT

The SPIRIT research project team designs and implements a framework for mobile and location-aware interactive digital storytelling, turning history lessons into adventures. Through the installation of the SPIRIT App (under development), off-the-shelf mobile devices (smartphones, tablets) get transformed into ‘magic equipment’. It allows users to meet the ‘restless spirits’ of historical figures, by interacting with virtual characters in augmented reality.

SPIRIT is a project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in Germany.
It is conducted by the Hochschule RheinMain, University of Applied Sciences, and Hochschule für Technik, University of Applied Sciences, with the support of several partners.
