A Gamified 3D Cultural Heritage Platform for Archaeology and Architecture (ARC Discovery Project administered by UniSA) (2025-2027)
Abstract
Few research infrastructures support engaging and useful 3D heritage content for both archaeology and architecture. A user-focused, experiential immersive environment with AI content creation will be developed and evaluated. Audience and international expert feedback will create a flexible feature list. Workshops with museums and galleries will test the prototype's usefulness for communication and preservation. The system will allow groups to explore 3D models in conjectural and imaginative contexts and pose counterfactual arguments. The project will also consider how to convey levels of authenticity and uncertainty. Outputs will be a website with opensource tools and data, publications, a conference and a demonstration as an exhibition.
