The paper presents the first results of an ongoing research on the benefits of implementing com-putational modeling in Scan–to–BIM processes for the representation of historic architecture in AR and VR application with education and communication purposes. The 3D laser scanner survey of a complex vaulted system was the starting point for the development of the research. The design of an App that optimizes the effectiveness of computational modeling concludes the workflow exporting the FBX file from Revit and then importing it directly onto the Unity real–time development platform. The study shows the feasibility of the computational approach in the application of AR and VR sys-tems demonstrating its effectiveness thanks to the segmentation and hierarchization of the different components of the ribbed cross vault.
