Abstract

The current advances of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have created new spaces for the recreational participation, mainly on virtual spaces, which can be considered as one of the main drivers of the cultural and creative production. This paper describes the experience in developing and testing an interactive 3D virtual environment for the Aeneas group in the Forum Adiectum. 3D models obtained from different sources can be included in this virtual world after a proper adaptation. We aim to demonstrate that this way of showing Cultural Heritage can motivate and facilitate people’s learning o our past rather than traditional media.
