The research project VisualVersilia 3D aims at offering a new way to map, record and visualize the territory and its heritage by matching the traditional reading of the document and the potential use of modern communication technologies, through the realization of a multimedia guide on WebGIS. The purpose of the project is the definition of a methodology that can be applied to cultural realities, as well as to other types of content and context, to enhance the characteristic features of the territory and its heritage. Some museums and archaeological sites already exploit the potential of digital tools to preserve and spread their heritage but interactive services involving tourists in an immersive and more modern experience are still rare. The innovation of the project consists in the development of a methodology for documenting current and past historical ages and integrating their 3D visualizations with rendering capable of returning an immersive virtual reality for a successful enhancement of the heritage. The project implements the methodology in the archaeological complex of Massaciuccoli (Massarosa, LU), one of the best preserved roman site of the Versilia Area (Tuscany, Italy). The activities of the project briefly consist in: 1. analysis of all kind of available sources; 2. 3D reconstructions of the evidences and buildings in their current condition for documentation and conservation purposes on the basis of a complete and accurate metric survey carried out through laser scanning technology; 3. 3D virtual reconstructions of roman age on the basis of historical investigation and the analysis of data acquired; 4. virtual tour of the site in its current configuration on the basis of spherical images then enhanced by texts, graphics and audio guides in order to enable both an immersive and remote tourist experience; 5. input of all data into the WebGIS system.

Abstract
The research project VisualVersilia 3D aims at offering a new way to map, record and visualize the territory and its heritage by matching the traditional reading of the document and the potential use of modern communication technologies, through the realization of a multimedia guide on WebGIS. The purpose of the project is the definition of a methodology that can be applied to cultural realities, as well as to other types of content and context, to enhance the characteristic features of the territory and its heritage. Some museums and archaeological sites already exploit the potential of digital tools to preserve and spread their heritage but interactive services involving tourists in an immersive and more modern experience are still rare. The innovation of the project consists in the development of a methodology for documenting current and past historical ages and integrating their 3D visualizations with rendering capable of returning an immersive virtual reality for a successful enhancement of the heritage. The project implements the methodology in the archaeological complex of Massaciuccoli (Massarosa, LU), one of the best preserved roman site of the Versilia Area (Tuscany, Italy). The activities of the project briefly consist in: 1. analysis of all kind of available sources; 2. 3D reconstructions of the evidences and buildings in their current condition for documentation and conservation purposes on the basis of a complete and accurate metric survey carried out through laser scanning technology; 3. 3D virtual reconstructions of roman age on the basis of historical investigation and the analysis of data acquired; 4. virtual tour of the site in its current configuration on the basis of spherical images then enhanced by texts, graphics and audio guides in order to enable both an immersive and remote tourist experience; 5. input of all data into the WebGIS system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
