In the field of cultural heritage, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of monuments is a usual activity for many professionals. The aim in this paper focuses on the new technology educational application combining science, history, and archaeology. Being involved in almost all stages of implementation steps and assessing the level of participation, university students use tools of computer gaming platform and participate in ways of planning the virtual environment which improves their education through e-Learning. The virtual 3D environment is made with different imaging methods (helium-filled balloon, Structure for motion, 3D repository models) and a developmental plan has been designed for use in many future applications. Digital tools were used with 3D reconstructed buildings from the museum archive to Unity 3D for the design. The pilot study of Information Technology work has been employed to introduce cultural heritage and archaeology to university syllabuses. It included students with a questionnaire which has been evaluated accordingly. As a result, the university students were inspired to immerse themselves into the virtual lab, aiming to increasing the level of interaction. The results show a satisfactory learning outcome by an easy to use and real 3D environment, a step forward to fill in needs of contemporary online sustainable learning demands.

“…The MeSch project (Material Encounters with Digital Cultural Heritage) for example was set out to design, develop and deploy tools "for the creation of tangible interactive experiences that connect the physical dimension of museums and exhibitions with relevant digital cross-media information in novel ways" (http://www.mesch-project.eu). Computer-aided systems that allow visitors to navigate in 3D virtual heritage space reconstructions [4], web-based museums that exploit distributed web cultural resources [5], and 3D multiuser virtual worlds that replicate heritage environments [6] provide access to immersive desktop computer experiences; Augmented Reality (AR) technology, for instance, AR game-based applications to support heritage education [7], or using AR apps to generate 3D models from real world heritage exhibits [8]. Virtual Reality (VR), robots as guides and curators, sensors, smart phones and tablets, either separately or in combination, resulting in Mixed Reality (MR) and Extended Reality (XR), and photography-based systems which convert 2D to 3D images and also highly immersive Cave Automatic Virtual Environment experiences, are some examples introducing the concept of Virtual Museums [8,9].…”

A Prototype that Fuses Virtual Reality, Robots, and Social Networks to Create a New Cyber–Physical–Social Eco-Society System for Cultural Heritage

2020

With the rapid development of technology and the increasing use of social networks, many opportunities for the design and deployment of interconnected systems arise that could enable a paradigm shift in the ways we interact with cultural heritage. The project described in this paper aims to create a new type of conceptually led environment, a kind of Cyber–Physical–Social Eco-Society (CPSeS) system that would seamlessly blend the real with virtual worlds interactively using Virtual Reality, Robots, and Social Networking technologies, engendered by humans’ interactions and intentions. The project seeks to develop new methods of engaging the current generation of museum visitors, who are influenced by their exposure to modern technology such as social media, smart phones, Internet of Things, smart devices, and visual games, by providing a unique experience of exploring and interacting with real and virtual worlds simultaneously. The research envisions a system that connects visitors to events and/or objects separated either in time or in space, or both, providing social meeting points between them. To demonstrate the attributes of the proposed system, a Virtual Museum scenario has been chosen. The following pages will describe the RoboSHU: Virtual Museum prototype, its capabilities and features, and present a generic development framework that will also be applicable to other contexts and sociospatial domains.

“…The 3D model of the Imperial Gates can be used also for educational, research, or other purposes [35] such as cyber archaeology, cyber archaeometry, virtual worlds, and augmented and immersive realities [36]. The images can be part of the Romanian cultural digital heritage with social implications [37] for the efforts to rescue and preserve the wooden churches in Transylvania. The development of complex applications as previously presented [27,30] requires advanced knowledge in fields such as restoration and conservation [31], reverse engineering and new product development [32,33], and programming and 3D modeling [34], that can only be accomplished with the help of interdisciplinary teams.…”

Multidisciplinary Investigation of the Imperial Gates of the 17th Century Wooden Church in Sălișca, Cluj County, Romania

et al. 2018

One of the most beautiful elements of cultural heritage in Romanian villages is the Transylvanian wooden churches. Unfortunately, these heritage elements have experienced considerable deterioration. This paper presents the results of a project whose main goal was the scientific investigation of the Imperial Gates belonging to the wooden church in Sălis , ca, Cluj County, Romania. To digitally preserve and document the Imperial Gates, a scientific investigation into the wooden support and the painting materials (ground, pigments) were performed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy. FTIR spectroscopy provided information about the wooden support, whereas XRF and FTIR methods were used to structurally characterize the painting materials. These structural data were correlated with the artistic, theological, and historical analysis of the religious heritage monument. Starting from the information acquired about the wooden support and the painting materials, the Imperial Gates were three-dimensional (3D) scanned using state-of-the-art laser scanners. The digitization of the Imperial Gates and the interior of the church was performed to maintain the current preservation status and disseminate this information to the public using online instruments.
