Seminar in Digital Applications for Cultural Heritage

Seminari tenuti da Stephan Hassam, University of South Florida

Referente Scientifico: Prof. Filippo Stanco

Ore complessive: 24h

Lingua: Italiano e Inglese

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.
