Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] First, the background in which the present invention was made will be described. For storing sculptures, storage locations such as warehouses and galleries are required, and the costs associated with such storage locations are a burden for artists and collectors. In particular, in the case of large sculptures, a large space is required, and accordingly, it occupies the space of the storage location. Also, storing in a storage location results in a loss of opportunities to appreciate the sculpture. Therefore, it is useful to vacate space for storing sculptures by renting out the sculptures. However, when a user considers renting a sculpture, there is a limit to imagining the atmosphere when it is placed at the location where the exhibition is planned, and it is also difficult to share the image with others, so there have been many cases where it does not reach the actual rental.

[0019] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention provides a sculpture rental system that presents users with an exhibition view of a sculpture placed in a planned exhibition location in an augmented reality space, and further adds sculpture information to the exhibition view, thereby making it easy to visualize the exhibition and conveying the appeal of the sculpture, which leads to sculpture rentals.
