Abstract
The goal of this project is to study the use of mobile technologies equipped with global positioning systems as an information aid for archaeological visits. In this study we will focus in the study of the technologies used to implement these systems. To this end we analyze an archaeological site where this systems have been tested. In this experiment we have applied state of the art technologies in virtual and augmented reality to implement a system that allows users to access the site using their mobile devices. We conclude that the use of this kind of technologies is an effective tool to promote the archeo-geographical value of the site.
