New interoperable tools to communicate knowledge of historic cities and their preservation and innovation

Abstract

This research underlines the close relationship between communication, representation and sharing data; it shows also how new media gather these three features linked to cultural sites. The scientific analysis can be improved by multimedia processes starting from a correct data acquisition (archival documents, laser scans and photogrammetric surveys) and passing through the organization of information in 3D models that can be implemented by interoperable BIM platforms. The new digital opportunities make the researcher able to communicate the data through the design of apps, interactive systems for multimedia devices, web platforms and immersive reality, another important goal is the integration of the 3D models as means of analysis in conservation processes of the architectural asset.
