Abstract
The Prague astronomical clock is a medieval astronomical clock in the Old Town Square in Prague. It is the oldest original working astronomical clock and the most visited astronomical clock in the world. However, many visitors have limited information about its history and the function of the Astrolabe. The clockwork itself is not commonly accessible. The aim of the project described here was to present a digital replica of all parts of the Prague astronomical clock and to make information about the clock available to researchers, students and the general public. In this paper, we show how the model was presented and we evaluate user feedback on the presentation.
