“…In the dry 3D environment, the user interaction occurs in the same way as described for the underwater scenario, the only difference is that the user cannot move as in the water. The 3D hypothetical reconstruction has been carried out through a theoretical and multidisciplinary scientific approach [ 49 ] on the basis of archaeological evidence and, for the parts that did not survive to the present, proposed reconstructions are based on the coeval examples known from the literature.…”

This paper presents a combined subjective and objective evaluation of an application mixing interactive virtual reality (VR) experience with 360° storytelling. The hypothesis that the modern immersive archaeological VR application presenting cultural heritage from a submerged site would sustain high levels of presence, immersion, and general engagement was leveraged in the investigation of the user experience with both the subjective (questionnaires) and the objective (neurophysiological recording of the brain signals using electroencephalography (EEG)) evaluation methods. Participants rated the VR experience positively in the questionnaire scales for presence, immersion, and subjective judgement. High positive rating concerned also the psychological states linked to the experience (engagement, emotions, and the state of flow), and the experience was mostly free from difficulties linked to the accustomization to the VR technology (technology adoption to the head-mounted display and controllers, VR sickness). EEG results are in line with past studies examining brain responses to virtual experiences, while new results in the beta band suggest that EEG is a viable tool for future studies of presence and immersion in VR.

Among the activities planned for the MUSAS Project, the digital reconstruction of the underwater sites constitutes a particular challenge, requiring strong cooperation between archaeologists and technicians. The case of the Villa dei Pisoni in Baiae, one of the richest in the Phlaegrean territory, is particularly interesting: the architectural remains, already documented in the 1980s and now inserted in one of the diving spots of the Underwater Park of Baiae, are disseminated on a huge surface, including quays, thermal complexes, a fishpond, and a large, luxurious viridarium. The effort required for the digital reconstruction of the ancient villa improved the previous knowledge and the lack of documentation even in a well-known site. In this paper, we will retrace the long path from the 3D reconstruction of the archaeological remains to the virtual architectural model of the villa, the numerous challenges, doubts, and uncertainties in the creation of the original spaces, and the support offered by the ancient sources, both literary and iconographic, in solving archaeological problems.

“…About the 3D hypothetical reconstruction, this has been achieved by means of a theoretical and multidisciplinary scientific approach [Davidde Petriaggi et al, 2018], under the direction of Barbara Davidde Petriaggi, that exploits the high-resolution 3D data together with drawings and other historical and archaeological information to build a suggestive and consistent digital reconstruction of the underwater architectures not anymore existing. In particular, the reconstruction process starts with gathering historical documentation, scientific literature and geometric data (archaeological maps, illustrations, photos, Digital Terrain Model, etc.).…”

Underwater augmented reality for improving the diving experience in submerged archaeological sites

The Mediterranean Sea has a vast maritime heritage which exploitation is made difficult because of the many limitations imposed by the submerged environment. Archaeological diving tours, in fact, suffer from the impossibility to provide underwater an exhaustive explanation of the submerged remains. Furthermore, low visibility conditions, due to water turbidity and biological colonization, sometimes make very confusing for tourists to find their way around in the underwater archaeological site. Keywords-Underwater Augmented Reality; underwater cultural heritage; markerless and markerbased tracking; underwater acoustic localization.
