RUIZ TORRES, David. Augmented reality: a new resource in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for museums in the 21st century. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.5, pp.39-44. ISSN 2007-249X.

In recent years, augmented reality (AR) has become more and more important in different areas of knowledge, showing the versatility and possibilities that this new technology derived from virtual reality presents. The capacity to insert virtual objects in real space and the development of very simple interfaces, have converted this new technology into one of the most avant-garde museographic resources. This is thanks to the fact that this new technology assists in the interaction between visitors and the cultural object in an attractive and educative way and also helps these spaces fulfill their main function, which is cultural outreach.
