“…One of the main advantages of using spherical panoramas concerns their implementation in virtual reality tools: up to now, there are different procedures to generate a virtual environment using various input data, software and devices. We can currently identify two different approaches: the virtual reality, created starting from three dimensional data, and the virtual tour, which recreates a potential environment starting from images with a 360° field of view (Castagnetti et al 2017). The advantages of these kind of applications are obvious: first of all, the involvement of the viewer, who can interact with the virtual environment that surrounds him.…”

Abstract. The deep knowledge of Cultural Heritage, with historical research and interpretative analysis of materials, is fundamental to know the state of conservation and to plan potential restoration interventions. In the last years, thanks to the fast and continuous technological development, the metrical survey had a significant increase in this particular field: in fact, 3D digital acquisition allows to study some aspects otherwise difficult to investigate in a detailed way.In this research, we will explain the methodology used for the ceiling’s survey of the Sala Capitolare of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, focusing on the support structure of Tintoretto’s paintings, anchored to a wooden system of Palladian trusses. The complexity of this Venetian architecture, its considerable dimension, the richness of decorations and the particular lighting conditions provided the opportunity of thinking about unconventional choices to apply from time to time and they required the integration of different methodologies: the laser scanning survey and the photogrammetric acquisition, together with a topographic network, allowed to obtain an adequate metric result for the study of the structure in its entirety. Furthermore, it was also decided to test image acquisition with a spherical camera for the documentation of the analysed architecture: this type of information, more related to a viewable aspect than to a metric one, can be presented together with traditional 2D representations to ensure a better enhancement of the achieved results.

“…The project called 'VisualVersilia 3D' (Castagnetti, Giannini & Rivola, 2017), implemented in the region of Versilia (Tuscany, Italy), describes its development and is mainly based on the following stages: First, an improved virtual tour with images, audio, second, 3D design of objects or parts that are no longer available.…”

“…Some museums and immemorial sites of tourist interest already make use of the benefits of technology, the transmission of history and dissemination of their heritage, although it should be noted that, 'these new experiences for visitors of these locations are still very strange' (Castagnetti et al, 2017).…”

The domain of cultural-educational and tourist environments has entered the digital age, this allows the implementation of technologies of Augmented Reality (AR) to improve the user experience in these environments, and entails the possibility of providing greater satisfaction to the user visiting these locations. Hence, the problem was formulated. What is the effect of integrating AR to improve the user interaction of a cultural-educational environment? Case: UPTC natural history museum. It presents a documentary research that analyzes studies on AR, view it as a tool of support for learning and entertainment processes through the recognition of cultural, educational and tourist locations. We sought to identify the applicability of AR in cultural settings for didactic, adaptive and learning purposes, based on the concept of 'Edutainment'. Research methods: logical analysis and generaliaation of scientific literature, both absolute and relative statistical data and case studies. The analysis, obtaining, design, development, evaluation and implementation, methodology for projects based on AR was used for thi work; applied in 34% of the works identified. It sought to recognise the characteristics and advantages of using AR technology as a resource to improve the user experience, combined technology and entertainment to achieve learning objectives. In total, 210 papers were identified and reviewed. Cepeda-Galvis, P. A., Mendoza-Moreno, M. A. & Rodriguez-Hernandez, A. A. (2017). Educational and cultural environments enriched using augmented reality technology. New Trends and Issues Proceedings on Humanities and Social Sciences. 4(8), 52-59. Available from: www.prosoc.eu 53The technical and operational viability of the AR is deduced; this is an innovative technology that captivates the attention of the user. The combination of the real and the virtual; and its easy access are the characteristics of an application based on AR, implemented in cultural and learning environments.

“…Among them, Augmented Reality (AR) technology allows users to join an immersive experience, integrating real and digital objects, interacting with the artefacts in a more spontaneous way as in the case of a viewer, to experience the artefacts in their real dimensions. Similarly, but with an opposite approach, AR may also allow the integration of real artefacts into digital environments, for example by reconstructing the first site of origin, and thus contextualizing the artefacts in their original context (Noh, Shahrizal, & Pan, 2009;Castagnetti, Giannini, & Rivola, 2017;Younes et al, 2017;Purnomo, Santosa, Hartanto, Pratisto, & Purbayu, 2018). Again, the integration of AR with 3D capturing and 3D modelling offers the possibility of proposing a hypothesis of restoration and its virtual reconstruction, providing the user with a scientific simulacrum of the original artefact (Antinucci, 2014).…”

Enhancing heritage fruition through 3D virtual models and augmented reality: an application to Roman artefacts

The spatial characteristics of museum exhibitions may limit visitors’ experience of the artefacts on display. In the case of large artefacts, limited space may affect their whole visualization, or inhibit the visualization of the details farthest from the observer. In other cases, the storage of artefacts in distant sites (museums or archaeological areas) may influence their knowledge process or the possibility for comparative analysis. Moreover, the precarious state of preservation of some artefacts, with damaged or missing parts, makes it difficult to perceive their original appearance. To overcome these limitations, we propose an integrated approach based on 3D virtual models and Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance the fruition of artefacts, improving their visualization, analysis and personal/shared knowledge, also by overcoming space and time constraints. The final AR application is an easily accessible tool for most users from a mobile device, used both inside and outside museums, opening new perspectives for fruition. The framework encourages the use of free and open source software and standard devices, to maximize their dissemination and exploit the potential of such technologies, which is far greater than current use in the cultural heritage field. Selected case studies to test and validate the integrated framework are proposed, dealing with some Roman artefacts found in the area of Modena (Italy). The first is a Roman floor mosaic, found in Savignano sul Panaro (near Modena) in 2011, of which less than half of its original 4.5 x 6.9 m surface is preserved. The others are two Roman funerary lion sculptures: the first is one of two lions flanking the main door of Modena Cathedral, and the second, well-preserved but damaged, is housed in the Museo Lapidario Estense of Modena. Finally, the application was tested by museum experts and visitors both inside and outside the museum, and positively assessed.Highlights:<ul><li>Digital practice is not understood as a prerogative of a small number of people, but as a tool to guarantee and expand artefact fruition, using standard devices and free and open source software.</li><li>Experimentation of new settings to re-contextualize artefacts and establish possible links among them, offering engaging and customized experiences to improve their accessibility and enjoyment.</li><li>Promotion of artefact fruition not only in but also outside museums, such as in a classroom or an open and shared space, opening to new approaches in the fruition of cultural heritage.</li></ul>
