"The Museo Glass Beacon: the Museum of the Future” is an experimental project realized in the Museum of Imperial Fora in collaboration with ETT S.p.A., a company with experience in applying new technologies in the cultural industry. The project is based on the use of Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, Google Glass, combined with Beacon technology. The path along the Museum is made by some points of interest distributed in the third and fourth floor of Trajan's Markets. For the first time, the story of the Imperial Fora is told by the statues who are part of the museum's permanent collection, such as Constantine, the Caryatid, Mars and Venus and others.
