• Abstract:

  Augmented reality is one of the new technologies with the most expansion in various fields ranging from entertainment to knowledge. Its use has served as a tool for dissemination and interaction between virtual environments and the physical world, consequently, its popularity among adolescents. In this text, a mobile application based on augmented reality is developed that has the purpose of disseminating and explaining the meaning of all the paintings that make up the Mural that is located at the entrance of the Center for the Arts of the State of Hidalgo, in Mexico. Despite being a public place with a lot of people, few know the meaning of the paintings found in the mural, which reflect part of the history of the State of Hidalgo. The application generates a dissemination tool in a creative, innovative and dynamic way, where users are able to scan the panels through their mobile device to project the digital models and animations for manipulation and audiovisual reproduction. As a consequence, interest in artistic work, as well as in the history and culture of the region, increased, mainly among students of all levels. In addition to mentioning the importance of incorporating new technologies in the arts and history for better dissemination and understanding among the population.
