    DIGITIZATION AND VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE OF MUSEUM COLLECTIONS. THE VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE CIVIC ART GALLERY OF ANCONA

    No full text
    Digital technologies have been shown to be highly effective in many activities related to Cultural Heritage (CH). Among the several impacts discussed in the last few decades, this paper focuses on digitization as a tool for the documentation and the experience of a museum collection. Taking advantage of image-based techniques, a digital replica of the Civic Art Gallery of Ancona was generated. Virtual interactions with the digitized artworks were then enabled and tested in the framework of a Virtual Tour (VT), designed as a solution for the museum to reach a wider public. The evaluation of the VT User eXperience (UX) proved the effectiveness of this tool, highlighting positive connections between the considered dimensions of the VT. The questionnaire scores will inspire further improvement to provide a better educational experience and engage more users

    Metodiche integrate di documentazione digitale per l’architettura in ferro e vetro: IL MERCATO DELLE ERBE DI ANCONA

    - Il mercato storico di Ancona, in pieno stile liberty, consiste in un fabbricato in ferro e ghisa costruito tra il 1923 e il 1926 con lo scopo di dare copertura al già esistente mercato cittadino di Piazza delle Erbe. Un edificio simbolo della città e di uno stile architettonico che si diffonde tra la fine dell’Ottocento e i primi anni del Novecento. Un edificio molto complesso per forma e materiali in grave stato di degrado e conservazione che pone una sfida tecnica e metodologica non indifferente alla sua digitalizzazione indispensabile strumento di conservazione e valorizzazione. Il contributo descrive questa complessa operazione di documentazione, ricostruendo, anche attraverso i disegni storici, la sua affascinate storia. - The old, art nouveau market in Ancona is an iron and cast-iron construction built between 1923 and 1926 to act as a roof over the existing city market in Piazza delle Erbe. It is a symbol of both the city and an architectural style that spread between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The building - with its very complex shape and materials - is now seriously deteriorated and poorly preserved; this poses a considerable technical and methodological challenge even though its digitalisation is crucial to its conservation and enhancement. This contribution describes the complex documentation process, including the use of historical drawings , to trace its fascinating history

    The symbiotic system CH Cygni: An analysis of the shocked nebulae at different epochs

    No full text
    We analyse the line and continuum spectra of the symbiotic system CH Cygni. We adopt the colliding-wind model to explain the symbiotic system at different phases. Peculiar observed features such as flickering, radio variation, X-ray emission, as well as the distribution of the nebulae and shells throughout the system are investigated by modelling the spectra at different epochs. The models account consistently for shock and photoionization and are constrained by absolute fluxes. We find that the reverse shock between the stars leads to the broad lines observed during the active phases, as well as to radio and hard X-ray emission, while the expanding shock is invoked to explain the data particularly during the transition phases

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    A Virtual Immersive Movie for the enjoyment of archeological heritage: The journey to the "Queen's Tomb" in Sirolo-Numana|UN VIRTUAL IMMERSIVE MOVIE PER LA FRUIZIONE DEL PATRIMONIO ARCHEOLOGICO: IL VIAGGIO NELLA "TOMBA DELLA REGINA" DI SIROLO-NUMANA

    The paper presents a workflow aimed at documenting, disseminating, and making archaeological heritage more accessible. To preserve scientific rigour and data accuracy, also providing an emotional experience to the audience, the entire process was carried out through the collaborative efforts of three professionals: the archaeologist, the digitization expert, and the entertainment industry professional. The case study is a pre-Roman necropolis located in the "I Pini" archaeological area (Marche Region, Italy). The site presents several circular burials, one of which belongs to a female figure known as the "Queen", which became the central focus of the narrative. The first working step was the digital documentation of a selection of the findings from the "Queen's" tomb, currently displayed at the Antiquarium Statale of Numana, followed by the virtual reconstruction of the burial. Then, the obtained 3D models were used to generate a Virtual Immersive Movie (VIM) which allows visitors to immerse themselves in the virtual reconstruction and interact with the archaeological findings using a Head-mounted Display. The evaluation of the user experience proved the effectiveness of the VIM. The scores obtained from the questionnaire will also serve as inspiration for further enhancements, aiming to deliver a more interactive and improved educational experience
