This seminar will provide a brief outline of both practical and theoretical elements of applications of digital, especially 3D, technologies to cultural heritage. Each module is designed to provide particular and interrelated knowledge of technologies. Case studies, whenever possible, will focus on the Sicilian and Italian context. Students will also engage in practical sessions with technologies (dependent on availability), in order to give them the confidence to pursue further competency in the technologies discussed.
