HERITAGE WITHIN (HWITHIN) aims at developing improved dissemination strategies for European architectural and archaeological heritage, by offering a new approach to present buildings and archaeological ruins. The project proposes to implement state-of-the-art technologies to produce an innovative visualization of the cultural heritage by showing what is hidden from our naked eye and the unknown features of our building and archaeological assets. New technologies developed in the recent years allow the accurate visual 3D reconstruction of our monuments, greatly enhancing the user’s experience and interaction with the cultural built heritage, since it helps exploring the sites with great detail, even remotely. However, 3D modeling techniques typically applied for this matter, such as photogrammetry and 3D laser scanning, only allow reconstructing what is visible to the eye, namely the exterior surfaces of the elements. A range of emerging advanced technologies, such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and sonic tomography, exist and allow us to go beyond this barrier to document and reconstruct precisely the interior of the constructive elements.This methodology will be implemented in one first pilot case study in Portugal: the Convent of Carmo, in Lisbon. After the complete 3D reconstruction of the monument, the project aims to use augmented reality to offer a unique visualization of our heritage. The visitor will be able to visualize the interior of the columns and walls on an almost stone-be-stone basis, providing a unique didactic experience that will highlight the construction know-how of our ancient builders and will help understanding how the monuments were precisely constructed. In addition, this tool may contain other layers of information (historical and archaeological data, materials or structural analysis results). At the end of the project, a showroom and workshop will be held at the case study site to show the results and receive feedback from the users. |
