Abstract
Augmented reality is a convenient tool that can be utilized to visualize detailed archaeological data to the public. In instances where human impact has disrupted the preservation of physical locations, augmented reality provides an immersive alternative without direct contact, given a previous record of the site. This research aims to enhance public engagement about the damage done to an archaeological site in Khirbat-en-Nahas, Jordan through a digital environment. First, we collected both 2D and 3D images of the site representing its original appearance and recent damage caused by bulldozers. We then created an interactive visualization, using Adobe Aero, a user-friendly augmented reality production experience, to display these findings. Both of the assets were imported into Adobe Aero and arranged to represent a layout that shows the contrast between both images. The project demonstrated Adobe Aero's effectiveness in visualizing the data by displaying side-by-side images with annotated callouts that highlighted the changes. Viewers can engage with the experience by viewing the previous image and tapping on the site to reveal a more recent version. The first image captures the site in its original form, while the second image depicts the damage done to it. This immersive augmented reality experience communicates the details of the site's condition in a manner that is engaging and easily comprehensible to the public.
