Abstract
The use of technology in the field of urban heritage has increased in recent times due to the possibilities that contribute to the management of conservation operations. The use of virtual reality systems is considered as one of the most important methods of digital preservation through the production of 3D models of historical buildings and then inserting them into interactive environments, such as the use of augmented reality systems, which allow the user to identify historical buildings through tablets and mobile devices to make them quickly and accessible. The research problem lies in the absence of studies on re-creating interactive models of historical buildings in Mosul old city. The current applied research aims to provide a working methodology to form an interactive model for a lost or damaged historical landmark through a methodology that works on collecting information sources on the damaged building and trying to rebuild it or recover the damaged parts of it by linking the information to produce a stereoscopic building , and then linking them to books and historical sources .So that the user can identify it with a three-dimensional model that appears on the screen of the mobile phone or tablet after making a digital scan of the relevant book page and using the Unite AR application.
