This project seeks to enhance the Largo Argentina sacred area using advanced digital technologies. It aims to offer visitors an immersive experience to deepen their understanding of historical spaces. Through 3D augmented reality and VR systems, visitors can virtually explore the sites' original appearance, with integrated technology providing detailed and realistic representations. This project is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility with EUR 1100000. The project aims to enhance the Largo Argentina sacred area through the use of advanced digital technologies. The primary goal is to allow visitors to deepen their understanding of the area's historical spaces through an immersive experience. Three-dimensional augmented reality reconstructions and VR systems based on georeferenced information will allow visitors to virtually explore the original appearance of these sites.
The experience will offer complete immersion due to the integration of technologies in the screens and viewing devices, providing detailed and realistic representations of the sacred area.
