Cutty Sark WebXR Virtual Tour for Cultural Heritage
In this episode we explore the design of a web-based 3D virtual tour system for cultural heritage sites. This podcast episode delves into the paper "A Web-Based Virtual Tours System for Cultural Heritage: The Case Study of the ‘Cutty Sark’", authored by Marco Gilardi, Raymond Holder, and Thanos Kokkiniotis. Published at the IEEE SKIMA conference, the paper discusses a system accessible via desktop, mobile, or VR head-mounted displays. Learn how this approach leverages technologies like Web3D and WebXR to enhance accessibility and provide interactive experiences. The Cutty Sark case study illustrates the system's practical application.
