“…This can be called a mixed method or a hybrid method. Examples of the use of such a method are: a woman's folk costume from the Gorenje region (Blender program was used) [28], 3D scanning of the female body in the context of applications in the clothing industry [29], generation of avatar elements (head and body) based on data from scanning 3D and measurements as well as 3D modeling of clothes on the basis of physical, spatial and external information [30], scanning of mannequin torsos to properly reproduce various figures of figures on which manually modeled outfits were placed [31], 3D simulation of historical costumes modeled manually on avatars [32]. The most frequently described and at the same time used technique of 3D digitisation of historical costumes are passive methods: photogrammetry and SfM (Structure from Motion), the fundamental (fundamental) theoretical basis of which can be found in [33].…”

Historical costumes are part of cultural heritage. Unlike architectural monuments, they are very fragile, which exacerbates the problems of their protection and popularisation. A big help in this can be the digitisation of their appearance, preferably using modern techniques of three-dimensional representation (3D). The article presents the results of the search for examples and methodologies of implementing 3D scanning of exhibited historical clothes as well as the attendant problems. From a review of scientific literature it turns out that so far practically no one in the world has made any methodical attempts at scanning historical clothes using structured-light 3D scanners (SLS) and developing an appropriate methodology. The vast majority of methods for creating 3D models of clothes used photogrammetry and 3D modelling software. Therefore, an innovative approach was proposed to the problem of creating 3D models of exhibited historical clothes through their digitalisation by means of a 3D scanner using structural light technology. A proposal for the methodology of this process and concrete examples of its implementation and results are presented. The problems related to the scanning of 3D historical clothes are also described, as well as a proposal how to solve them or minimise their impact. The implementation of the methodology is presented on the example of scanning elements of the Emir of Bukhara's costume (Uzbekistan) from the end of the nineteenth century, consisting of the gown, turban and shoes. Moreover, the way of using 3D models and information technologies to popularise cultural heritage in the space of digital resources is also discussed.

“…Animated characters can be embedded in virtual restitution of a historical site, allowing for a simulation of the social dimension. They can exploited to deepen a historical figure, a better understanding of his life and actions [63], giving back behavioral aspects such as posture, clothes, body movements and gestures. As in the case of the virtual Ada Lovelace [63], projected onto a big wall screen inside a tunnel and properly reacting to the presence and movements of people.…”

As in the case of the virtual Ada Lovelace [63], projected onto a big wall screen inside a tunnel and properly reacting to the presence and movements of people. The behavior and the intention of people (such as approaching Ada, going away or staying in front of her) are captured by a Kinect device, then processed and analyzed by means of Markov chains and statistical analysis.…”

Site Experience Enhancement and Perspective in Cultural Heritage Fruition—A Survey on New Technologies and Methodologies Based on a “Four-Pillars” Approach

et al. 2021

This paper deals with innovative fruition modalities of cultural heritage sites. Based on two ongoing experiments, four pillars are considered, that is, User Localization, Multimodal Interaction, User Understanding and Gamification. A survey of the existing literature regarding one or more issues related to the four pillars is proposed. It aims to put in evidence the exploitation of these contributions to cultural heritage. It is discussed how a cultural site can be enriched, extended and transformed into an intelligent multimodal environment in this perspective. This new augmented environment can focus on the visitor, analyze his activity and behavior, and make his experience more satisfying, fulfilling and unique. After an in-depth overview of the existing technologies and methodologies for the fruition of cultural interest sites, the two experiments are described in detail and the authors’ vision of the future is proposed.

Intangible heritage is often linked to human actions and performances. The use of digital humans (DHs) for its digital representation and therefore its preservation, allows reframing the way to transmit and deal with content that is difficult to visualize. To that end, the digital human becomes an important element establishing the connection between the action, the objects, the knowledge, and the environment. In this article, we describe the development of DHs acting as practitioners and storytellers for traditional craft processes within virtual environments. We present the process and the tasks involved in modeling, designing, and animating DHs, detailing the underlying technological background. Animations were completely based on real humans' motion extraction while working on the corresponding craft. As a result, we present the different DHs models created for three specific heritage crafts: mastic cultivation, glass blowing, and silk weaving as well as an AR application, built to augment exhibits of the Chios Mastic Museum. This article is a practical description of the steps to model and animate virtual humans. The work aims to bring a methodology for achieving DHs creation for CH applications.
