The research group has expertise in the field of the use of information technology applied to Cultural Heritage, Design Innovation and Urban Design.
The research group focuses on the use of three-dimensional modelling, 3D surveying and rendering techniques for the use of 3D digital content and related information, analysing different scenarios in the fields of cultural heritage, museography and industrial design.
The group is currently engaged in:
- development of techniques and methods for the acquisition and three-dimensional restitution of museum artefacts.
- definition of scientific methods for hypothetical reconstructions of planned or missing artefacts/works.
- implementation of semantic 3D digital models as an operational fulcrum to connect information and geolocalise data in the context of cultural heritage lifecycle management.
The success of technologies for the development of advanced interactive visualisation applications has opened up new research scenarios with the inherent versatility of virtual models as their main focus. The members of the group specialise in the creation of 3D models from real-life data (survey) or documentary sources (reconstructive hypotheses), in the development of information systems for cultural heritage lifecycle management, and in the three-dimensional reproduction of ancient drawings (Leonardo da Vinci).
They also have extensive experience in the development of methodologies and technological applications for the production of multimedia and multiplatform content to support corporate communication, social communication and territorial communication, serving the dissemination and enjoyment of cultural content, as well as in the development of enabling technology applications to support complex production processes, capable of combining design, creativity and design culture.
