Historical buildings can be experienced on-site in their former state using a novel manual placement method. This approach leverages user guidance for precise alignment, bypassing technical and environmental lim- itations common in computer vision methods, offering a robust and accessible solution for urban exploration and heritage visualization. The interactive nature, the simplicity and the adaptability of this approach offer great potential for gamified experiences in cultural heritage and beyond.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Human-centered computing → Mixed / augmented reality; Interaction designHuman centered computing → Mixed / augmented realityInteraction design10.2312/dh.2025325210 pages
