Augmented and Virtual Reality, to enhance accessibility to the historical and cultural highlights

Title: Augmented and Virtual Reality, to enhance accessibility to the historical and cultural highlights
Description: Part of the Smart Panormus project, Palermo wants to develop the use of augmented and virtual reality for the enhancement and improvement of accessibility to the historical and cultural highlights, in particular to the monuments of the Arab-Norman route. These technologies make it possible not only to virtually navigate along cultural route, or within a cultural asset such as museums, historic buildings, or archaeological sites, but also to add three-dimensional visualisation of cultural contexts or assets, elements or parts that are no longer present in their original location. The City of Palermo wants therefore to implement four virtual or augmented reality applications, especially on the following areas: Hidden Palermo, for elements that are invisible to the eyes of the visitors, Ponte dell’Ammiraglio, to recreate the bridge and its area, and Genius of Palermo, with the personification of the city.
