  title = {An AR Game for Primary Learners to Safeguard Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Ovahimba Tribe},
  abstract = {Augmented Reality (AR) is a new technology that enhances the actual world by superimposing computer-generated or extracted real-world sensory data such as images or sound onto it. Incorporating Augmented Reality into Cultural Heritage has a slew of benefits. Safeguarding of Cultural Heritage is vital because it serves as a link between the past and the present. Museums do not engage their audiences, particularly primary school-aged children, and as a result, youngsters show little interest in their cultural history, and museums cannot compete with more technologically advanced and modern kinds of entertainment. The purpose of this study was to spark children s interest in Cultural Heritage as they engage with it. Under the project, a Cultural Heritage game using eight Ovahimba items was developed and tested at a local primary school. Research-by-Design was the primary methodology of this research project.},
