EHD 2026: Turnkey Mediation Powered by Augmented Reality

A photo flipped through in a book, a place walked past without noticing, a building long gone, a site without the budget for a major exhibition: every story deserves to be told.

For European Heritage Days 2026, BavAR[t] is once again ready to build your mediation project. 🪄

A Turnkey Experience, Fully Self-Guided
Trails or activities, audio, augmented reality, quizzes, a cultural reward at the end: visitors and participants experience it all independently, right on their smartphone.

Your Existing Archive Becomes the Trail
With our “3D models,” a simple archival photo, a postcard or a page from a book steps into augmented reality — no 3D modeling required. The archive you already have becomes the material for the trail: turnkey, delivered in one week. ☀️

European Heritage Days 2026
Join us on September 19 and 20 for the 43rd edition, with September 18 dedicated to school groups (“Look Up!”). Far more than a weekend of visits, it’s the major annual meeting point between the public and heritage professionals, where mediation and visitor-support tools have their full place.

Two themes this year:

• 📷 The heritage of photography, marking its bicentennial
• 🏚️ Heritage at risk — reviving, resisting, reimagining
  Photography and Augmented Reality, a Natural FitThe first theme speaks to us directly.

An old photo geolocated to the exact spot where it was taken, a past and a present overlapping, a building or a figure long gone reappearing before the visitor’s eyes: this is exactly what augmented reality makes possible.

Do You Have a Site, a Photo Archive or a Local Story That Deserves This Treatment for EHD?
