The Vista Alegre exhibition hall hosts Jaime Molina's talk "Virtual heritage: going back to the past by recreating history"

In this talk, organized by the University Venue of Torrevieja of the UA, a brief tour of the dissemination and socialization possibilities of the knowledge of digital resources (ICT and NT) will be offered. From various examples we will see what products, services and virtual environments are currently being created in national and international spheres, although equally applicable to nearby, local or regional museums, exhibitions and interpretation centers: Virtual Reconstruction and Recreation, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality , Informative vinyls, reconstructive panels, digital Escape Rooms, Immersive Short Films, virtual replicas and 3D prints, etc.

Virtual Heritage is a research group of the University of Alicante directed by Dr. Jaime Molina, which offers the Master of international reference in this matter and accumulates a great experience in the development of multiple national and international contracts (Art. 83) (Modeling 3D, Virtual Reconstruction and Recreation, Augmented Reality Applications and Virtual Reality). Similarly, the Virtual Heritage group is part of the team of three international Erasmus+ projects for the development of digital technologies applied to the Humanities and Virtual Archeology (Digital Humanist, CUDIMHA, Digital Womanist).
