Applying augmented reality to historical telescopes images: the IMAGO project

On demand | Presented live 20 June 2024

Abstract

IMAGO is a prototype for the application of augmented reality to the images produced by historical telescopes. Its purpose is to offer an innovative experience to the public, increasing their interest in astronomy and revitalizing those telescopes, no longer suitable for scientific purposes but always impressive and evocative.
