XR Narratives from Informative Models: The Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella and the Castrum Caetani in the Appian Way (UNESCO)

A scalable methodology for integrating multi-scale, multi-temporal stratified layers into interactive Extended Reality (XR) platforms shows promise for enhancing cultural heritage engagement. By leveraging geoinformation systems and high-quality models derived from LiDAR, Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), Mobile Mapping Systems (MMS), and photogrammetry, researchers propose a geoXR framework that correlates informational nodes in geographic space. This approach enables users to navigate narratives within shared geospatial contexts, amplifying the impact of digital heritage efforts while supporting continuous future implementation by diverse subjects.
