On the 5th of November 2020, I gave a keynote at Conference of cultural heritage and new technologies, which was held at Vienna, Austria. The title of my talk was “Virtual and Augmented Reality for Maritime Archaeology”. My talk will presented results in respect to virtual and augmented reality interfaces for underwater environments. In terms of virtual reality, two different types of applications were be illustrated.
The first one was a dry-visit solution for exploring ancient sites and it is focused on the general public and the second one was a serious game that aims in teaching maritime and archaeologist students the main principles of 'site formation', 'surveying' and 'excavation'. Moreover, a novel AR underwater interface was be presented which can detect square markers in poor visibility conditions as well as serve as virtual guide for divers that visit underwater archaeological sites.
