Abstract Both digital and physical 3D models of buildings as well as historical photographs of architecture are used for a wide range of needs, from research in humanities and information technologies, museum contexts and library studies, to touristic appli- cations. Spatially oriented photographs play an important role in visualizing and browsing contemporary as well as historical architecture, starting with the ground-breaking Photo Tourism project [SSS06]. We present a technique to combine physical, 3D-printed models of buildings with spatially registered historical photographic documents in a hand-held Augmented Reality (AR) environment. Users are enabled to spatially explore historical views of architecture by selecting photos from a collection of images, which are then utilized as textures for the physical model rendered on their respective mobile device. We compare different methods to spatially select photos registered to a physical model in hand-held AR.

Introduction Photographs are an essential source for historical research in the Digital Humanities (DH). Numerous digital image archives, con- taining vast numbers of photographs, have been set up within dig- itization projects. Our research focuses on creating methods and c  2018 The Author(s) Eurographics Proceedings c  2018 The Eurographics Association. DOI: 10.2312/gch.20181358 https://diglib.eg.org https://www.eg.org
