The Iron Regiment was a military unit officially designated as the Second Infantry Regiment
“Knjaz Mihailo” of the Serbian Army during the First World War. It was formed in the Toplica region
and consisted mainly of first and second call conscripts from this area. The soldiers of the Iron Regiment
were awarded with numerous decorations, which can be classified into 17 different orders, including both
domestic and foreign. These decorations are exhibited in the Memorial Room in Prokuplje.
This paper presents an application designed for mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones,
intended to provide detailed information about these decorations. The application is based on an
Augmented Reality (AR) module that enables recognition and provides information about the
corresponding decoration. The information is displayed in the form of purposefully prepared multimedia
content, including text, audio, and video recordings, as well as interactive 3D models used to illustrate the
reverse of each order. The interactive functionality enables image zooming for better observation of
decoration details.
