Cultural Heritage (CH) is a challenging domain of application for novel Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), where visualization plays a major role in enhancing the visitors’ experience, whether onsite or online. Technology-supported natural human-computer interaction is a key factor in enabling on-site and online access to CH assets. Recent advances in ICT enhance visitors’ access to online collections as well as their CH experience onsite, bringing even wider audiences than those who visit the physical museums. The range of visualization devices – from tiny smartwatch screens, through wall-size situated public displays, to the latest generation of immersive Head-Mounted Displays – together with the increasing availability of real-time 3D rendering technologies for online and mobile devices and, recently, Internet of Things (IoT) approaches, Social Robotics, requires exploring how they can be applied successfully in CH.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in presenting and discussing the potential of state-of-the-art advanced visual interfaces in enhancing our daily cultural heritage experience. This year the workshop theme will be: AVI for accessibility in CH.
Topics: Any work that is at the same time relevant to the AVI 2024 general list of topics and that is being applied to cultural heritage is relevant to the workshop. Specific topics of interest, when applied to cultural heritage are:
Submission types may be long research papers – reporting on complete research (8 pages), short papers reporting on work in progress (4 pages) or position papers presenting novel ideas (2-4 pages). Especially encouraged late-breaking ideas and results related to studies presented at the main AVI conference.
We intend to publish all the accepted papers in a dedicated CEUR-WS volume.
