## What is Robertus?

Robertus offers an “augmented visit” to the Basilica of Notre-Dame du Port in Clermont-Ferrand, France. It allows the users to visualise in augmented reality an interactive virtual reconstruction of the Basilica wherever they are. 

This app is the result of an experiment undertaken as part of the doctoral research of Mete Kutlu in collaboration with the developer Theuns Botha. The experiment sought to combine augmented reality and photogrammetry to innovate in digital scenography, mediation and humanities. 

As part of a series of experiments baptised as Dream Pixels, it was realised with the support of Cristiana Mazzoni, senior expert at Comet Lab and director of AUSser research lab at the Paris-Belleville School of Architecture.
