ICT for Cultural Heritage

Information and Communication Technologies are transversal to all the application domains. Cultural Heritage and in particular cultural tourism have adopted technologies that allow users to immerse themselves in the realities of the past. Virtual Reality, 3D Graphic, Augmented Reality are the most cited IC technologies for Cultural Heritage. In fact, many other IC Technologies such as Machine Learning, Data Visualization, Web Application, Web Mapping, Graphic User Interfaces, Distributed Ledger, 2D / 3D Graphic Design, Data Integration, Data Storage can contribute to the enhancement in terms of analysis and rendering, and to the safeguard against the threats of our time such as armed conflicts, climate change, fanaticism, vandalism,… of Cultural Heritage and Digital Humanities in general.

The HCT Technological Unit has been able to experiment all these technologies in different international and national projects such as Kyoto, GeoMemories, ClaviusOnTheWeb, TotusMundus.
