Project duration - 24 months

As to the development of 3D technology it should be noted that virtual walks have become an important factor to learn about history and culture of one’s own country. The 3D technologies provide a realistic way for more complete representation of architectural sites, museums and galleries in the digital space. For this reason 3D model presentation should include the necessary information so that the users get the same knowledge as if they would have actually visited the site.

This project focuses on the following objectives and tasks:

• To show the possibilities of the virtual and added reality through the so defined mixed reality in training and promotion of historical-cultural heritage for the benefits of the users. The presentation of the cultural and historical heritage based on the Augmented Reality (AR) technology will enable visitors to interact with the content in an intuitive and exciting way. It is a technology that expands the perceived reality at the expense of complementing the visible and tangible world with digital information in real-time.
• Develop new learning opportunities for the students by creating virtual sites of historical-cultural heritage. A real 3D model of the ancient town of Skaptopara will be created within the project.

Within the framework of the project, for the first time, an opportunity will be presented for the application of mixed reality and Virtual Social Networks in the training for the purposes of historical-cultural heritage. This methodology is popular in the leading universities worldwide such as Prince, Harvard, Duke, etc. They create virtual affiliates and museums in which their students can attend lecture virtually. Individual virtual objects will be also shown.
