A Service for Supporting Digital and Immersive Cultural Experiences

Abstract: Cultural heritage sites in Italy typically attract a large number of tourists every year. However, the lack of support for i) locating contents of interest; ii) discovering information on specific contents; and iii) ease of navigation within the heritage site; hinders the overall experience of the visitor. To this end, in this work, we present a Digital Object Space Management service developed as a part of the VASARI project. The service generates a digital twin (with 3D visualization) of a given cultural heritage site and further provides support for navigation and localization, thereby providing an immersive cultural experience to the visitor.
