From 22 to 25 October 2024, the ISPRS Technical Commission Symposium 2024 “Spatial Information to Empower the Metaverse” was held in Fremantle, Australia, jointly organised with UPINLBS2024, Geospatial Council of Australia (GCA), and hosting FOSS4G Perth.
The Symposium has debated the increasing importance of spatial digital twins in their development between technology and applications, including discovery, sharing, fusion, analysis and simulation of spatial information. In this framework, the challenges have also regarded Cultural Heritage, considering its digital cognition and the emerging role of digital twins in conservation and preservation practices, including story-telling approaches for interpreting Cultural Heritage within the Metaverse.
Research development from the MOEBHIOS project has been presented at the Symposium, within the intervention “Integration of Digital Repositories and Spatial Design within the Metaverse: the Evaluation of Features and Narratives to set Learning Environments on Cultural Heritage” by Dr. Raffaella De Marco.
The paper, published in the international scientific journal "The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences" (ISSN:2194-9034) can be accessed in Open Access at the following link.
The research action is still ongoing, measuring the Impact Assessment of the application of the Metaverse regarding Digital Heritage through an open questionnaire. The questionnaire is accessible at the following link, and every contribution from users' experience to the research products will be appreciated!
The research activities presented have been funded by an international summer school funded by BIP Blended Intensive Programme through the Erasmus+ programme, and they have been conducted in synergy with the Horizon Europe project MOEBHIOS. The BIP - Intensive International Summer School 2023 "VERY-M Valuing challEnges on aRchitectural tYpologies – Modernity" was coordinated by the University of Pavia (UNIPV), in a partnership composed by European University Viadrina (EUV) - Germany, Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE) - Portugal, Al-Quds University (AQU) - Palestine, Izmir Institute of Technology (IIT) - Turkey, The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) - United Kingdom.
