Abstract

M.I.R.A. Morandini is the acronym for Augmented Reality Immersive Museum dedicated to the intellectual and poet Luciano Morandini. The M.I.R.A. Morandini is the first prototype of an immersive museum with both real contents and virtual ones, where the visitors can move freely. M.I.R.A. Morandini shifts the use of XR from a tool for visualization and/or representation to the final outcome. M.I.R.A. Morandini is a concrete example of how architects should be thinking about XR as not just a tool to design and visualize physical spaces, but as the final product, a space to design, with attention to the spatial experience.
