The paper examines the potential offered by augmented reality in the didactic field, with particular reference to the possibility of creating “augmented” experiences, which make it possible to obtain a high level of interaction with the sources and places that have acted and are acting for conservation and activation of historical memory. The subject of analysis is the psycho-pedagogical value of the information enrichment offered by AR, which allows to support the narrative potential of historical sources through the presentation of documents, interactive objects, 360° videos and 2D and 3D reconstructions. Particular attention is paid to: the possibility of using augmented reality to innovate textbooks and teaching methodologies; the possibility of creating “active” study paths with a high level of interaction and personalization; the recent applications of AR in the museum field; the psycho-pedagogical role of AR in the construction of stories and narratives and the impact that this type of technology can have on the methods of transmission and construction of stories.
