Abstract
The paper through an excursus on the technological development of virtual fruition systems, intends to reflect on the methods of communication and dissemination of cultural heritage, taking as a reference part of the results of research recently conducted on some case studies. The museum, configured in its new immaterial form and no longer as an exclusively physical place, amplifies the availability of space open to visitors, revolutionizing its role as cultural mediator in the extension of a potential connective that increases the dynamics of social development. The present research was aimed at programming a methodological protocol for the documentation and the virtualization of museum assets, collections and architectural heritage of tourist interest, based on a new approach to fruition of the space and the work of art in it contained.

Conceived by August Fuhrmann, in 1890 the Kaiserpanorama was an optical device that exploited the technology of the stereoscope, a machine around which could seat about twenty people and simultaneously view different stereo photography.

True-Vue, a Rock Island company founded in 1931, became famous for the production of the stereoscopic viewer by David Brewster. In 1951 it was then incorporated by the rival company Sawyer's owner of View-Master. Taken from the site: http://www.wikiwand.com/it/Stereoscopi_del_XX_secolo.

Ubiquitous learning is defined as a daily learning environment supported by the use of the pc and is intended to provide students with content and interaction anytime and anywhere. The learning process takes place through the virtual medium. The direct access to information always, in any place, and with any type of device is the characterizing element of a new generation of information systems identified with the term Ubiquitous Computing. In 1988 Mark Weiser coined this term, imagining computers placed in walls and in any other object of daily use (Hwang et al. 2008).

Discovered based learning, a 21st-century experiential learning technique based on the study of theorists and psychologists Jean Piaget, Jerome Bruner, and Seymour Papert (Mayer 2004).
