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 visu-alisation 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 hypoth-esis 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.
