Advanced Technologies for Promotion of Cultural Heritage: the Case of Bronzes of Riace

The aim of this paper is to analyze the meanings and the contents of\ud innovation and its role in museums and heritage sites’ management\ud to create higher levels of competitiveness. Through a complex\ud framework, we investigate the key role of innovation in determining\ud the competitive advantage. We propose a theoretical model to\ud study smart and open innovation in cultural services, with specific\ud reference to museums and heritage sites, building up an ‘innovation\ud indicator’, in order to measure the nature and the intensity of\ud innovation as well as to identify how it can be leveraged to sustain\ud a business-oriented approach and to get competitive advantage.\ud This latter is conceived in strategic terms, using a resource-based\ud theory approach: competitive advantage is therefore considered\ud with respect to both economic and social performance, market and\ud competitive positioning. We apply our index on a group of\ud innovative selected cases of museums and heritage sites using\ud nonlinear principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering.\ud Empirical results show that smart innovation seems to be a\ud necessary path to achieve competitive parity but it is not sufficient\ud for competitive advantag

To achieve this goal, the chapter focuses on the use of 3D technologies, on virtual and augmented reality, with emphasis on the stereoscopic Virtual Theatre. These innovative tools support the creation of a global vision of the fragmentary archaeological Calabrian heritage, as well as the possibility to play with the virtual findings as in a videogame, by choosing what to explore and the contents to access. Moreover, these technologies exploit the entertaining components of the systems in order to provide personalized and interactive educational contents.
