Abstract
Here we address the roadmap of the Digital Cultural Heritage research group DigitCH group, which was set up in 2013 at the Department of Architecture, University of Florence. The aim of DigitCH group was to realize the link between scientifically validated methodologies and contents, innovative storytelling, and technological instrumentation. The spread of electronic devices has enabled rapid and easy technological fallout of research in the field of the acquisition-representation of the survey data expanding audiences and accelerating even an innovative approach to the whole knowledge of CH.
Among the objectives that the DigitCH group seeks to achieve is the strengthening of the concrete experience of visitors through the use of technological potential; this allows the promotion of CH in all categories of citizens and the renewal of approaches and languages through more active and interactive educational activities. Moreover, DigitCH aims to increase knowledge of CH gained through experience within bespoke digital environments. A selection of case histories from DigitCH shows how we have designed solutions that promote interactions within a broad context, aiming to establish a communication strategy that “opens the educational box” to the territory (to get in touch with the identity of the visited places), new languages (to foster the links between different kinds of cultural heritage: architecture, archeology, artistic heritage), and to a new public (to create a shared cultural habitat among different institutions).
