The e-Archeo 3D Project, an Innovative and Sustainable Cultural Proposal Based on XR Technologies

This contribution focuses on e-Archeo 3D: an application that visualises virtual archaeological reconstructions. It is an interactive browser-based application implemented on the open-source ATON platform. This application enables the visualisation of archaeological sites through 360° panoramas that can be explored and populated with multimedia content (audio, pictures, videos, and 3D models). Users can switch between the current archaeological context and the reconstruction hypothesis at each viewpoint while a voice (or text) narrates the main archaeological and historical information. Some parts of the panoramas pulsate with a yellow colour and give access to in-depth multimedia content. An additional visualisation level allows users to learn about the reliability of the reconstructions and the sources and interpretative processes on which they are based.
