Exhibitions have an interest in utilizing the benefits AR has to offer regarding knowledgetransfer and engagement of visitors. Interaction with existing applications for handheld devices is mostly reduced to augmented browsing, where users are passive observers of the augmented scene.

In this thesis, an interaction method to investigate exhibits through handheld AR is established. The concept is based on a conducted user study which aims to examine the natural behavior during exploration of unknown objects. It intents to make the investigation of exhibits engaging and easy
