Switzerland AG: Springer Nature. 2025 Motivated by the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) applications for transparent displays, this work presents a See-Through Augmented Reality (STAR) Exhibit Showcase, an interactive system that provides information and multimedia content for physical exhibits through a seamless User Experience (UX). The research described addresses underlying key inquiries about the effect of ambient light conditions, multi-user interaction, and methods for achieving accessibility. To validate the system, a case study was implemented for the city of Kalamata, demonstrating the potential of AR in promoting and enhancing user engagement with local products. Two heuristic evaluation sessions were conducted to identify usability problems and improve the UX. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-76815-6_19
