Spatializing experience

Abstract

In this study we present a novel ICT framework for the exploration and visualization of historical information using Augmented Reality (AR) and geolocalization. The framework facilitates the geolocalization of multimedia files, as well as their later retrieval and visualization through an AR paradigm in which a virtual reconstruction is matched to user's positions and viewing angle. The main objective of the architecture is to enhance human-data interaction with cultural heritage content in outdoor settings and generate more engaging and profound learning experiences by exploiting information spatialization and sequencing strategies.

UD‐SV: Urban data services and visualization framework for sharing multidisciplinary research

“…The next possible extension is for representing the information stored in multimedia documents concerning urban evolution. Many research works propose different visualization approaches for historical photographs (Chagnaud et al, 2016;Pacheco et al, 2014;Schindler & Dellaert, 2012;Snavely et al, 2006). 2006) also proposed a system for browsing images and for answering questions like which images depicted a particular scene or which photographs were taken close to a given image.…”

Many research works propose different visualization approaches for historical photographs (Chagnaud et al, 2016; Pacheco et al, 2014; Schindler & Dellaert, 2012; Snavely et al, 2006). Friedrichs et al (2018), Münster et al (2020) analyzed uses of the digital corpus of photographs by art and archeological historians and proposes a spatiotemporal web environment to improve the search and retrieval of digital documents in the spatiotemporal environment.…”

Usability of data-oriented user interfaces for cultural heritage: A systematic mapping study

“…Intangible CH and linguistics are also the subject of several studies [39][40][41]. Some studies incorporate geo-localisation [42][43][44].…”

“…Other interfaces improve education through engaging the users [53,58]. Related to tourism, georeference permit to link narratives and add layers of information on intangible CH [35,37,43,44,56]. We may find interfaces that maximise tourist experiences according to their interests [25,39,45,47,48,52,59] or recreate the historic environment representing the original fac xades of restored buildings [33,60].…”

“…Another set of articles (14%) strive for the introduction of augmented reality (AR), which range from personalised electronic guides for visitors through different reconstructed archaeological sites [36,73], to mobile applications in which the images of different cultural artefacts such as buildings or books are augmented with contextual information [30,31,38,44]. Regarding the 11% of articles that are oriented to 3D interaction, many of them present UIs with virtual 3D models of cultural artefacts, where the users can explore the artefacts choosing the desired orientation of 3D objects and viewing extra information of the artefacts [27,32,33,64].…”
