Photographic Virtual Reality and Architectural Heritage

چکیده
Multimedia applications concerning Cultural Heritage represent a great opportunity to spread the knowledge about the history, culture and tourist environment of a specific site. But this kind of applications requires a large effort in term of costs in order to guarantee the high quality needed. This requirement has also a remarkable impact on the technology used to realize the multimedia contents as well as on the lifecycle and the methodology adopted to develop the application software. The application described in this paper is related to the architectural heritage, which, due to the specifically visual impact of sculpture and architecture, needs a special photographic technique to be displayed in a virtual tour. We describe, moreover, how, by using a HDM methodology, we developed a general-purpose run-time engine reducing the costs needed to realize new

متن کاملRealism vs. Reality: Creating Virtual Reconstructions of Architectural Artifacts
Virtual representations of architectural artifacts present spatial properties of particular objects. It is not sufficient to provide visual accuracy of the model without broader context. Structure, backgrounds, scenarios and narratives are necessary to immerse the viewer into virtual re-creations of the artifacts and to understand their original function. The concept of immersion has been explo...
متن کاملProjected Time Travel: Architectural Heritage Projection in Situ
Abstract: Aside of architectural heritage that is readily visible to the public like well-known tourist sites, there are many heritage objects which only exist in restricted excavation sites or in museums to where they have been moved. Some of them exist in literature only. Archaeologists put a lot of effort into the reconstruction of architectural heritage, even in digital form. Still, most of...
متن کاملVirtual Heritage: Living in the Past
Virtual Heritage (VH) is the use of electronic media to recreate or interpret culture and cultural artifacts as they are today or as they might have been in the past (Moltenbrey, 2001; Roehl, 1997). By definition, VH applications employ some kind of three dimensional representation; the means used to display it range from still photos to immersive Virtual Reality. Virtual Heritage is a very act...

The 3D geographic information and virtual reality have now become fundamental in the analysis and prevention of many environmental problems and in the documentation of Cultural Heritage. In many application fields, such as virtual tours museums and so on, the simple 3D data visualization is required, but the 3D complex objects with metric data can be regarded as great aid in many other fields o...
