Immersive Technologies for the Valorisation of Historical Heritage. Digital models of the Scuola del Carmine.

The research proposes to analyse the 16th century pictorial cycle preserved on Scuola of Carmine, in Padua, one of the most ancient medieval fraglie of the city. Here we have the opportunit to show the outcomes of this research. The initial phases of the work were shown some years ago at the same conference. The seventeen depicted frescos tell about some scenes of the Virgin’s life from the Apocryphal Gospels. The project aims to realize a digital database for cultural and architectural heritage conservation and valorisation. The research activities were organized in: a) acquisition of data (Laser Scanner 3D, Photo-Modelling, thermography and georadar) and all the historical documents; b) construction a interoperable database in order to collect documents, information about the case study; c) creation of a virtualinteroperable model of the architecture, using Scan to BIM technologies; d) enforce the 3D virtual models with infographic information from database in order to obtain semantic models; e) test thesemantic model with innovative tools.
