Summary
Research demonstrates that digital reconstruction of historical sites, such as the Real Sitio de Aranjuez, using video games like Minecraft can effectively promote public awareness and appreciation of architectural heritage. The study highlights how precise 3D modeling in gaming platforms facilitates natural and engaging learning about cultural landmarks. It adapts traditional surveying techniques—documentation, data collection, 3D modeling, and dissemination—to the constraints of Minecraft, offering a novel approach to heritage education. This method bridges the gap between academic documentation and public engagement, making complex historical sites accessible in an interactive format.
