Multipurpose Models and AI Solutions for Exhibit Design: Dissemination of Siege Scenarios

This paper investigates exhibit design strategies for communicating siege scenarios through integrated digital resources, including polyfunctional models, reality-based 3D assets, and AI generated pre-visualizations. The study reorganizes heterogeneous materials into a coherent methodological workflow grounded in high resolution documentation acquired for archaeological research. Results derive from the case of the northern walls of Pompeii, where ballistic imprints attributed to the Sullan siege present challenges of accessibility and intelligibility. The evaluation demonstrates how digital models, physical replicas, and media code frameworks support inclusive dissemination for diverse audiences, including visitors with visual or mobility impairments.
