“…The usage of interactive technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR), delivers a significant novelty [23,24]. The development of extended reality technologies [25] and mobile applications can be used as a monitor for the improvement of a socio-cultural experience-moreover, it is a path towards an interdisciplinary application framework, in which, advances in mobile technology have enabled a wide range of applications, morphed with the concept of augmented reality [26].…”

The digitalization of cultural routes and virtual storytelling has emerged as a way of showcasing to individuals the heritage of different cultural universes. Regarding this fractional environment, and as a by-product of the international EU funded iHERITAGE project, (B_A.2.1_0056), the goal is to create, through an innovation-driven growth process and technological transfer, brand strategies for the affirmation and better knowledge of intangible realities in the Mediterranean region. The Sicilian Tourism Department in Italy is the project’s lead beneficiary, with representative partners throughout six Mediterranean countries (Italy, Egypt, Spain, Jordan, Lebanon, Portugal). The case study in Portugal is being developed in Tavira, through the intangible cultural heritage of the Mediterranean diet. The research based on the cultural experience, the history of the landscape and the sense of identity and continuity of knowledge is reassigned into a digital platform—the creation of apps and, within this, the design of a virtual route that navigates key geographical places. These apps will later revolve around one of the cultural elements of the Mediterranean, namely, the olive oil activity, with a detailed presentation of the manufacturing process, as well as its didactic interpretation and dissemination about the protection and conservation of Mediterranean research. The methodological approach is developed through the analysis and interpretation of a detailed list of references, fieldwork in a plurality of sites, contextual inquiries and interviews. As a powerful tool for internet marketing and research, these apps will reinforce identity, hospitality and tourism enterprises connected through the virtual itinerary, allowing a closer interaction between tourists and locals, endorsing the rise of technological development, as well as to drastically reduce environmental and ecological risks.

“…The most significant positive feedback is that "more socially isolated users who are less emotionally connected in offline interactions and are more connected in online interactions" [Lee et al, 2020, p. 16] can fulfil their needs by joining online travel communities. The ways of interacting with the heritage is also built on a different concept and model of social interrelation and communication and relations of people to each other (Portalés et al, 2018).…”

“…Cultural heritage informatics has been empowered with the tools to handle an integral cultural reality, connect different dimensions of heritage, and make use of a complex range of digital technologies, from remote sensing technologies for as-built data creation to social media for reaching several new audiences [15].

The use of world-simulation videogames for cultural heritage (CH) communication presents one of the greatest opportunities for engaging people with the safeguarding of cultural resources. However, not all simulation videogames have the capacity to transmit heritage values efficiently. This article reviews the use of serious and commercial videogames in CH to frame and properly identify characteristics for the selection and assessment of videogames in the context of cultural communication. Based on the analysis of the capacities of videogames to motivate, immerse and represent reality, the videogame Minecraft is identified as one of the optimal solutions to represent and promote engagement with the cultural built environment. As such, the authors assessed the capacity of the videogame Minecraft to be used as an efficient tool to communicate built heritage environments, considering identified criteria on immersion, motivation, and fidelity on simulation.
