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.
