The key questions of this article concern the extent to which digital documentation, 3D scanning technologies, and VR/AR technologies contribute to the preservation, enhancement, and sustainability of cultural heritage. The purpose of this research is to present an innovative methodology through which a platform for the diagnosis, management, and documentation of findings, progress, and reports and projections of rescue excavations in the area of Euboea, Greece was implemented. A holistic approach is proposed with a comprehensive system of archaeological documentation and visualization, which integrates the use of digital technologies in all steps of the archaeological process, enhances the tools of the scientific community, and provides immersive experiences for both researchers and the public. The results of the method include (1) a complex toolbox of innovative technologies that allow archaeologists to plan and execute a rescue excavation in an efficient and concise manner and (2) a VR installation at the Diachronic Museum of Chalkida “Arethousa”, which allows the public to participate in virtual rescue excavations and explore archaeological sites that are no longer accessible. Through this project, the impact of new technologies on cultural heritage and, in particular, on issues of sustainability, accessibility, education, and visitor participation is highlighted.

“…With the help of VR and AR technologies, museumgoers can have an enhanced, interactive experience with artworks, as they can view them from multiple angles, zoom in for closer examinations, or explore the artwork in different lighting conditions. Additionally, these technologies can be used to create 3D models and simulations of artwork, allowing further exploration into its historical context or potential restoration techniques [14]. Examples of virtual and augmented reality being used at art museums include virtual tours, interactive exhibits, and immersive experiences.…”

The research intends to explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computing technology can be used to create a more immersive and enjoyable experience within the context of a museum visit. Specifically, the study aims to identify ways in which AI and computing technologies can be leveraged to enrich the visitor’s experience, including by providing interactive content, automated personalization, and real-time access to relevant information. Additionally, the research will assess the potential for AI and computing technology to support improved data analytics and utilization of resources within museums, such as enhanced curation, digital preservation, and increased engagement with audiences. The study employed a qualitative methodology, utilizing interviews with museum professionals and surveys of museum visitors to collect data on visitor experiences. An analysis of the data was conducted to identify current and potential uses of AI and computing technology in art museums. The findings reveal that AI and computing technology are currently being used to facilitate access to collections, tour guidance, and educational activities while emerging technologies show promise for providing even more immersive and personalized visitor experiences. The results of this study suggest that AI and computing technology can play an important role in enhancing the visitor’s museum experience. The research provides recommendations for art museums to leverage AI and computing technology to optimize visitor engagement and foster more meaningful connections with works of art.
