A Multimodal Guide for Virtual 3D Models of Cultural Heritage Artifacts
2008
The area of cultural heritage preservation and fruition has drawn an ever growing attention of artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction research in the last decades. The common aim is to develop systems that can interact with the user in a variety of modes and in the most natural way. In this paper, a multimodal guide for virtual 3D environment navigation is presented. The proposed system integrates X3D environment with a multimodal interface. The application scenario is to provide a visitor assistance and guidance during the visit of one of the halls in the historical Palazzo Steri, the headquarters of the University of Palermo.

The access to information is a right and a duty. An accessible website becomes a universal resource for all people who surf the net, it becomes a powerful tool to spread its message and its information with the conscious and the knowledge that the information will come to anyone who wants to access it. The innovative technologies of graphic communication (ICT) are the means to allow this cultural diffusion. In this paper the goal is to demonstrate that a conscious use of ICT allows the accessibility of the cultural heritage. The case study is on the prisons of the Inquisition in Palermo. A great opportunity has permitted to carry out a cultural, historical, architectural and social research…
The reconstruction project: The district Villarosa
2016
Il concorso per il complesso di edifici di Piazzale Ungheria, avrebbe dovuto suggellare la sistemazione del rione “Villarosa”. Sulla base di documenti pervenuti e uno studio teso alla definizione architettonica si è realizzata la restituzione grafica tesa ad evidenziare la complessità geometrica e gli effetti spaziali generati dal gioco di volumi, utilizzando solo la presenza della luce naturale e non foto-realistici. L’inserimento del modello virtuale nella configurazione odierna ha dimostrato la perdita dei concetti di organicità esposti dal progetto vincitore assenti nello stato attuale. The competition for the complex of buildings Ungheria Square, should have sealed the ward accommodati…
