Application of Analogue and Digital Methods in Cultural Heritage for Virtual and Physical Documentation and Dissemination

Summary/Abstract: Photogrammetry and 3D scanning technologies have emerged as key players in digital heritage preservation and its dissemination. They allow for high-fidelity captures and virtual reconstructions of the built environment that can be further ported into virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences. This paper provides a comparative analysis of historic details and building documentation methods in heritage preservation. Specifically, it compares two educational case studies documenting the same set of historic artifacts with various digital technologies. The methodology for this paper is a qualitative comparative analysis of these projects. The results demonstrate that interpretative qualities are necessary for proper communication of digital heritage and there is a need for effective conceptual frameworks for integrating interpretive and narrative layers into 3D captures.
