3rd iMareCulture Newsletter

The third issue of the iMARECULTURE newsletter was recently published and presents an overview of the progress done over the past six-month period. The main efforts were focused in application development and pilot tests. After gathering almost all necessary information and data, pilot applications of VR immersive visits to submerged cultural heritage and initial evaluation helps establishing common grounds among our interdisciplinary group and cooperate to improve and build upon the initial concept.

Two serious games are at their final stage. Underwaters tests for the AR applications were conducted in Baiae in June, gathering many data and comments for improvements. The publicity of the project increases with interviews from national and international TV. Also, the Euronews TV, visited our expedition and filmed our divers testing the underwater hybrid positioning system, using tablets and smartphones. Storytelling, which will highlight the educational aspect of our applications, is progressing.
