URBE: Applicazioni di Game engine per la valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale attraverso dinamiche di edutainment

2024-07-30T13:03:22+02:00

During 2022, a research and experimentation project aimed at developing new interactive approaches in the use of cultural heritage was launched within the Virtual Archeology Laboratory of the University of Palermo. Through reflection on the experiences that have characterized the disciplinary field and the observation of the possibilities offered by the videogame world, we proceeded to define a protocol called URBE which provides for the development of simulation ecosystems, through game-type software engine, within which users play the role of protagonists of the proposed experience, being able to relate independently with the virtual resources. These elements have made it possible to develop edutainment dynamics with a strong communicative impact and a high degree of immersion which are proposed as an ideal solution in the context of the valorisation of cultural heritage.

Una rivoluzione visuale: quando l’Intelligenza Artificiale mette l’arte nelle mani di tutti

2024-07-30T13:14:31+02:00

In contemporary society, artificial intelligence (AI) impacts human lives to different extents, including reshaping the public's creative experience.
Software and programs enable users to create images from scratch, notwithstanding their actual knowledge or competencies.
The visual art system is currently facing an ongoing democratization process, in which the distance separating the creator and the informatic algorithm is gradually fading. Therefore, there is a growing need to analyze AI's implications on the creative process.
The paper will analyze the different software and websites providing image- generating services while discussing their impact on society as a whole.

Un mix di tecnologie per accrescere la fruizione e l’accessibilità alla rete delle 100 chiese romaniche della Sardegna

2024-07-30T13:21:22+02:00

The knowledge, promotion and valorisation of Italy's Cultural Heritage express an extraordinary value in the international cultural panorama. Italy contains the major sites of cultural, archaeological and landscape interest which should be accessible to all. The “Sardinia Isola del Romanico” Foundation was created with the aim of showing the great monumental heritage of the Sardinian Middle Ages, represented by over 150 Romanesque monuments located throughout the island. To increase the use of these monuments it is essential to promote their real and virtual accessibility, introducing in both cases the use of new information and digital technologies. Accessibility has therefore become the key word to achieve this objective, which allows everyone to enjoy cultural heritage, breaking down distances and barriers.

Holograms per i Beni Culturali: le innovazioni per la fruizione artistica

2024-07-30T13:33:31+02:00

Our journey through art and technology continues, unveiling an innovative certainty made in Italy capable of standing out internationally. GeckoWay, an Italian company specializing in software research and development, introduces "VirtualCrab," a
mixed reality project. Collaborating with IUAV, GeckoWay merges art and technology to enhance user experience at the National Archaeological Museum in Venice. Exploring "VirtualCrab" and its case study with IUAV, we delve into various holographic representation techniques and devices. Furthermore, we detail a case study involving Gecko-Way and IUAV, showcasing their data processing journey from point clouds to software processing to hologram representation. Looking ahead, we anticipate significant advancements in holographic technology over the next decade, including enhanced accessibility, real-time dynamic displays, improved user interaction, and portability.
These developments promise to revolutionize holographic applications across various sectors, ushering in a new era of visual and interactive experiences.

Le Collezioni Digitali del FAI ad HaltaDefinizione: un patrimonio nel patrimonio

The acquisition technologies developed by Haltadefinizione allow you to obtain very high resolution digital images of the paintings. Thanks to specially designed algorithms, in fact, it is possible to combine a large quantity of individual photographic shots of small portions of the portraits to obtain what is called a gigapixel image.

Trasformazione digitale delle Collezioni civiche di Ascoli Piceno

2024-07-30T14:00:28+02:00

In line with current trends and challenges in the field of cultural heritage, the research presented here is the result of the V.I.T.A. project: an initiative on digital cultural heritage that involves museum operators in the digitization and development of
digital applications for various works of art and ethnographic elements from the Civic Museums of Ascoli Piceno. The project includes the entire digitization workflow, ranging from three-dimensional modeling to immersive virtual experiences
for museums. The work testifies to a fruitful collaboration between universities and cultural institutions, which has led the Marche museum to become a virtuous example in the field of digital transformation of heritage.

Intelligent Smart Tourism Education: some experiments with AI based Learning for Cultural Tourism

2024-07-30T13:41:21+02:00

The paper discusses the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, particularly focusing on digital tourism. It highlights the use of AI-assisted learning to personalize educational content and enhance learning experiences for students. Specific examples include AI-powered platforms for designing cultural travel blogs and personalized learning paths for cultural tourism education. The paper also emphasizes the role of AI in supporting self-learning, adaptive learning systems, intelligent tutoring systems, and natural language processing.
It showcases case studies from the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" and explores AI's potential to improve accessibility and provide tailored educational experiences for learners with disabilities.
