Reconstrucción del interior de la Abadía de San Salvador en Ename de alrededor de 1290

Abstract

In this paper we outline the process of research about the reconstruction of the Saint Saviour abbey in Ename (Oudenaarde, Belgium) in the 13th century both in its architectural decoration and in its furnishing. The reason for the reconstruction is the creation of an educational game for the visitors of the Provincial Heritage Centre, built just next to the archaeological site of the abbey.

Recreating a medieval urban scene with virtual intelligent characters: steps to create the complete scenario

“…Besides the architectural structures of the sites, some authors explore other facets of the simulations, implementing approaches commonly used in videogames (see Anderson et al, 2010, for a review about serious games for cultural heritage). Three recent examples are provided by Capurro, Nollet & Pletinckx (2014), Saldaña (2015) and Kennedy et al (2013). Capurro et al (2014) conceived a virtual model (including architectural decoration and furnishing) of the 13 th century Saint Saviour abbey in Ename, Belgium, with the objective of releasing an educational game for young visitors of the Provincial Heritage Centre, nearby the archaeological site of the abbey.…”

The players will walk inside the virtual abbey, discover the daily life of monks, while overlooking the real archaeological site.…”
