Virtual and Mixed Reality for the Enhancement of an Absence: The Case of the Artemis Statue

The paper investigates the use of virtual and mixed reality technologies to enhance the temporary absence of museum artifacts, proposing exhibition strategies based on digital twins, 3D animations, and immersive interaction. Through photogrammetric survey and 3D modeling, a digital replica of the Artemis statue is generated and used to develop interactive and narrative content, including video installations and holographic experiences via HoloLens. The approach aims to improve the understanding of the artifact’s historical transformations and restorations, allowing users to actively explore its reconstruction and formal evolution within a hybrid physical-digital museum environment.
