7. Virtual Heritage
http://www.v-must.net/
Virtual Heritage” (VH) is a broad term to define the whole set of items
and assets that deal with virtual-reality (VR) and cultural-heritage.
In general, virtual heritage and [Cultural Heritage] refer to independent
fields: cultural heritage claims for properties and sites with
archaeological, aesthetic and historical value; while “virtual heritage”
deals with instances of these properties and sites within a digital
representation which implies materializing the heritage content
digitally and to process and disseminate it using computer graphics
technology and enhanced strategies of communication.

16. VIS.I.T. Lab mission for Cultural Heritage
To create interactive RT applications
based on 3D computers models
authenticated by historians ,
archaeologists
in order to avoid the risk of transmitting
superficial or misleading cultural
information
To train Phd students, architects,
archaeologists, historians, computer
scientists, media experts in following an
interdisciplinary methodology
for creating cultural VR products.
