Welcome to Discovering Patere!
A new AR Digital Humanities project for Venice’s Cultural Heritage
The Augmented Reality project Discovering Patere in Venice – An Augmented Reality project for Cultural Heritage is an on-going research project shaped in the context of the Master in Digital and Public Humanities of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, under the coordination of Professor Fabio Pittarello and Professor Gloria Vallese.
It employs the Augmented Reality technology to augment the Venetian cultural artifacts called “patere”.
Augmented Reality is a technology of digital output characterized by an overlaying of virtual object over real objects, giving the immersive impression of facing a single object. The virtual objects are viewable through various vision devices: monitors, lenses, helmets, but also personal devices such as tablets and smartphones.
