Monumoir

Monumoir transforms ordinary encounters with historical sites into interactive experiences by recognizing structures in real time and presenting their backgrounds as spoken memories. This approach emphasizes listening over reading, allowing the narratives to unfold naturally while users stand before the landmarks. The system combines visual recognition with research-driven content to generate accounts that feel personal to each monument. Participants build a collective record of locations, encouraging further visits and awareness of overlooked details in public spaces. By focusing on audio immersion, the application suits on-site use where visual attention remains on the physical object rather than a screen, fostering a direct connection to the events and figures associated with each site.
