Projects

Merkhet (2024)

“Merkhet” is a Collaborative Immersive Analytics WebXR toolkit, being developed under H2IOSC project as part of pilot 7.7 (“Immersive Analytics and Spatial Interfaces“). It is used in conjunction with Merkhet plugin for ATON, specifically dedicated to capture and track users’ interactive sesssions.

MetaMic app (2024)

MetaMic is a cross-disciplinary research project (Università di Camerino, CNR ISPC, Università di Firenze, Università IUAV-Venezia) involving expertise in the fields of architectural history and design, computer design and computer science. It takes Michelangelo Buonarroti’s unrealised architecture as a case study, but proposes itself as a pilot-experience that can be extended to other cultural objects. MetaMic intends to apply to a digital framework dedicated to cultural content, a few characteristics of the current metaverses: immersiveness in a 3D environment, augmented reality, interactivity, participativeness and FAIR principles.

/imagine (2024)

The WebXR application (“/imagine”) allows users to interact with different generative AI scenes online using a standard web browser, including purely panoramic content (360) and 3D models. Different generative AI services were used and combined for visual, narrative and aural content: this allows to accelerate content-creation pipeline for immersive 3D scenes.
It was on display in ArcheoVirtual 2023 (Paestum, Italy) and TourismA 2024 (Florence, Italy – NOVa space by DTC Lazio)

“100 Year of Science” CNR (2023)

The web-app is a multisensory journey into National Research Council (CNR) scientific research, online version of the exhibit “100 Years of Science” (“La Scienza si fa in 100“). It offers a multimedia experience – accessible on every device and everywhere – dedicated to the behind-the-scenes of the many research activities that have characterized the CNR for a hundred years.

Codex4D web-app (2023)

The Codex4D web-app allows to explore and inspect collections of 3D manuscripts, providing advanced tools to discover hidden information (e.g. infrared data), measure, manipulate lighting settings. It offers interfaces for authenticated professionals to add or edit semantic annotations, which general users can query or filter by category or layer.

DataSpace 3D front-end (2023)

DataSpace is a platform for the sharing, accessing, and long-term conservation of data produced by the Institute of Cultural Heritage Sciences. It allows access to innovative digital tools & services to increase the knowledge and enhance the conservation of the Cultural Heritage in an interdisciplinary perspective. A front-end based on ATON is being used to present and interact with 3D datasets

Vani Virtual eXperience (2023)

The web-app, developed under the Bilateral Project 2021-2022 (funded by Italian National Research Council and Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation) allows to explore a specific area of the Vani temple-city of historical-archaeological interest: the so-called mosaic floored temple, located a few meters away from the entry gate of Vani and the Archaeological Museum.

Brancacci POV (2022)

Soon.

Geophysics App @ Festival della Scienza (2022)

This web-app targets Geophysics domain, focusing on interactive exploration of GPR acquisition volumetric data (by CNR ISPC Lecce). The app was part of the expo “I Linguaggi delle Scienze del Patrimonio: dal macro al micro“, part of Festival della Scienza (Genova, Italy)

e-Archeo 3D (2022)

e-Archeo is a large-scale project which brings together research institutions, universities and academies, creative industries and experts in the field of Cultural Heritage in its different branches, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture (MiC) and coordinated by ALES SpA.

e-Archeo 3D (web-app based on ATON) allows to explore 8 archaeological areas, through semantically-enriched 360 scenarios, populated by different multimedia content: texts, videos, images, 3D models of individual artefacts. The exploration of the individual sites is designed to be carried out on site, by visiting the archaeological area in person, or online, from home or from school.

San Massimo App (2022)

The project – focused on the church of San Massimo a Forcona (Italy, AQ) – is part of a research conducted by the ‘teaching of Medieval Archaeology at the University of L’Aquila, with the aim of analyzing sites of great relevance capable of returning useful information on the building patterns present in the city’s territory.

The app allows to explore in 3D or immersive VR a semantically enriched model, including archeaological and typological layers
