Summary/Abstract: The hereby article focuses on several multimedia applications available to visitors of museums and exhibitions of historical topics. For physical visits there are several applications running on audio devices, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), tablets, Google Glass intelligent glasses, info kiosks. The holograms accurately reproduce the originals and/or make possible their thorough visualization, on layers. The multi- and hyperspectral scanning offers adjacent patrimony information, detected outside the visible specter. In the case of the virtual exhibitions there are the photo/video galleries, the panoramic images and the virtual tours. The 3D visualization of the patrimony is displayed on the computer, with possibilities of studying it from any angle/position, actually possible by laser scanning, by structured light or by photogrammetry, as well as the option of physically reproducing the objects by a 3D printing device. Virtual reality is also mentioned, an option by which, based on the information already preserved, it is possible to reconstruct on the computer an image close to the original of the artifacts and of historical sites decayed or destroyed. The article mentions as well the efforts of conceiving a unitary European and worldwide framework for the 3D technologies in the patrimonial field.
