Augmented reality (AR) is emerging rapidly in the field of Heritage Interpretation due to its feasible availability and accessibility. Heritage tourism is more concerned about the visitor experience at Historical sites, and AR can enhance this experience. The enhancement of tourist experience and better interpretations comes from better documentation. The advent of technology calls for user-friendly and cost-effective tools for the documentation of heritage structures. Photogrammetry helps people recreate three-dimensional (3D) virtual models with fewer resources and lesser time and high-resolution textures. AR representation of buildings is highly efficient to showcase conjectural models where there is a lack of structural evidence. Instead of actual reconstruction, the use of AR preserves the authenticity and integrity of the structure. This paper focuses on creating a minimum file size 3D model with the digital data recorded from Kashi Vishweshwar Temple, Kalabgoor, Telangana, India. It is a High-Resolution Photogrammetry model which is integrated into Augmented Reality. The working on Interactive Features, Accuracy of Floor Tracking, and Image Tracking are also explored in this analysis. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
