Abstract
The present paper discusses the importance of immaterial heritage in the contemporary world and its preservation and transmission using AR techniques. A special case of immaterial heritage is represented by traditional technologies, currently undergoing rapid extinction all around the world. One case study presents a series of educational experiments with mobile-learning carried out by the authors in Vadastra village, in southern Romania (project Time Maps - PN II IDEI). Here, with the help of experimental archaeology, technologies such as weaving, ceramics and glass making were recreated under the form of digital films, which were later mixed with VR reconstructions of the ancient geographical and architectural contexts to allow the viewer's immersion into the cultural formative contexts of the immaterial heritage. The educational results of this IT experiment suggest that AR techniques and mobile-learning can be successfully used to preserve and transmit the immaterial heritage.
