“…It is the visual language presented by 3D technology that delivers information in a modern way which can also be applied in the communication of architectural heritage (Poudel & Roy, 2019). It is the use of 3D technologies in heritage illumination that puts the architect's ideas to life without recreating the entire architectural object; properly selected technologies highlight the most important parts of the object, allowing to see the overall territory (Fabola et al, 2017). According to Esposito & Ricci (2020) and Bernárdez et al (2019), the use of digitisation of heritage information is the best ways to present and preserve heritage.…”

Research purpose. The purpose of this study is to single out the tools of creative communication and to identify which of them are most used in the communication of architectural heritage in Vilnius. Design / Methodology / Approach. Comparative analysis of scientific literature, qualitative expert interviews. Findings. The communication of the architectural heritage is multifaceted because the heritage is multifunctional. Heritage communication operates through various channels and is focused on different target groups; however, in order for the communication to be effective, as expected, the coherence of communication is required, as well as a comprehensive approach to all aspects of communication. Structured communication is essential for the best communication impact. Originality / Value / Practical implications. Heritage communication is an actively developing field that is receiving increasing attention from scientists and the public. Much attention is paid to heritage during various cultural events, during which the public has the opportunity to get acquainted with the usually inaccessible heritage or its premises. In this way, the revitalisation of heritage involves urban residents, communities, interested groups who, for cultural, religious or other reasons, are concerned with heritage preservation. Although much attention is paid to heritage communication and sponsors are being attracted, there are fears that the communication of architectural heritage is not sufficient due to the lack of funding for architectural heritage. The consequence of the lack of funding is the disappearance of architectural objects. Thus, the analysis of architectural heritage communication is a relevant and researched topic.

“…Estimating the capturing perspectives of images in 3D space also allows their embedding in virtual 3D reconstructions of the shown locations and objects (e.g. [13,19,33]) or even in the spatial context of the actual locations using augmented reality visualizations [14,28,31]. However, the visual comparison of details is typically not possible, since the images can only be seen from their original capturing positions.…”

Image-based 3D reconstructions and their visualization in virtual reality promise novel opportunities to explore and analyze 3D reconstructions of real objects, buildings and places. However, the faithfulness of the presented data is not always obvious and, in most cases, a 3D reconstruction cannot be compared directly to its corresponding real world instance. However, in case of reconstruction methods based on structure from motion (SFM), a large number of raw photos is available. This motivated us to develop a novel interaction technique for the visual comparison of details of 3D models with projections of the corresponding image sections, e.g. in order to rapidly verify the authenticity of perceived features. The results of a formal user study (n=18) demonstrate the general usability of such visual provenance information as well as benefits of the comparison in vicinity of the features in question over a separate image gallery. Further observations informed our iterative design process and led to the development of an improved interactive visualization. Our final implementation provides a spatial and content-related overview while retaining the efficiency of the original approach.

Developments in digital infrastructures and expanding digital literacies lower barriers for museums and visitor centres to provide new interactive experiences with their collections and heritage. With virtual reality more accessible, heritage institutions are eager to find out how this technology can create new methods in interpretation, learning and visualisation. This paper reviews virtual reality exhibits that were built and displayed in cultural heritage centres. By taking advantage of existing visitor digital literacies, the exhibits provided accessible immersive exploratory experiences for inter-generational audiences. The digital framework developed is a template for virtual reality content interaction that is both intuitive and powerful. The exhibits include digital reconstructions of a physical scenes using game engines for a convincing visual experience. We contextualise the logic behind a virtual reality setup for the separate institutions, how they assisted with the narrative as well as if an immersive digital environment provided a more profound response in users. Our aim is to communicate approaches, workflows and content used to overcome the challenge of presenting a period in history to a modern audience, while using emergent technology to build connections and disseminate knowledge that is memorable and profound.
