About this Research Topic
Digital Heritage Futures at the Intersection of Cultural Heritage, Architecture, New Media, Archaeology, Museology and Computer Science.
As the digital age transforms the landscape of cultural heritage preservation, there is a continuous and critical need to address the evolving challenges and opportunities in the intersection of digital heritage, architecture, new media, archaeology, museology and computer science. This Research Topic seeks to spotlight the uncharted territories within “Digital Heritage Futures” and aims to uncover innovative methodologies, focusing specifically on the dynamic relationship between humans and digital media.
We invite researchers, scholars and practitioners to contribute innovative perspectives that not only envision but critically engage with the future of digital heritage, unraveling the unexplored research gaps that lie at the heart of this multidisciplinary domain.
The Research Topic challenges conventional norms by fostering alternative knowledge creation and at the forefront of this exploration, it embraces the digital frontier in the preservation and interpretation of rich contexts of cultural heritage.
Scope of Submissions:
Digital Heritage Futures: Proposing novel methodologies and frameworks that extend beyond conventional approaches, envisioning the future trajectories of digital heritage. Human-Media Interaction: Investigating the intricate interplay between humans and digital media in the preservation, presentation and user engagement with cultural heritage. Methodological Innovations: Crafting flexible and adaptive methodologies capable of responding to the demands of sustainable construction practices, emphasizing environmental responsibility and craftsmanship.
Submission Topics:
• Augmented and Virtual Reality in Heritage Preservation
• AI and Machine Learning Applications in Digital Heritage
• Interactive Media for Cultural Heritage Education
• Sustainable Construction Practices in Digital Heritage
• Adaptive Models for Heritage Futures
We seek papers that introduce methodological innovations, emphasizing flexibility in the digital documentation, preservation and interpretation of cultural heritage. How can flexible methodologies adapt to evolving narratives and contribute to the creation of alternative knowledge? Works may explore how digital tools intersect with architectural narratives in heritage preservation. This could involve leveraging computational methods for architectural analysis, reconstruction and envisioning the future of architectural heritage through advanced digital means. Submission can also investigate the role of human-computer interaction in reshaping how individuals engage with cultural heritage. Papers exploring novel interfaces, immersive experiences and the integration of user perspectives are encouraged. Exploring the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in heritage practices, studies could involve AI-driven analysis of historical data, predictive modelling for the conservation of heritage sites, and intelligent systems that assist in the interpretation and understanding of cultural artefacts. Studies may delve into the application of algorithms and computational techniques in uncovering hidden patterns, analysing large datasets and providing new insights into the understanding of cultural heritage. Papers can ask how digital heritage practices can align with sustainable principles, exploring environmentally responsible approaches to digital preservation, considering the long-term impact of our methodologies on both digital and physical environments. We encourage papers that challenge existing paradigms in the intersection of cultural heritage, architecture, new media, archaeology, museology and computer science. This could involve questioning established norms in preservation practices, representation methods and knowledge dissemination.
