New #JCAA paper out! Duarte Petti, CF, Guerra, A, Lorusso, A, Pellegrino, M and Santaniello, D. 2026. A Survey of Immersive Technologies in Cultural Heritage. Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology, 9(1): 329–347. DOI: doi.org/10.5334/jcaa...

Relationships between cultural heritage, immersive technologies and educational applications. Conceptual framework diagram showing a four-level flow from cultural heritage to outcomes. At the top, a "Cultural Heritage" section contains two elements: "Archaeological Park" and "Museum." A downward arrow leads to "Technology," which includes XR (extended reality) containing MR (mixed reality), and within MR, AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality); alongside XR is AI (artificial intelligence). Another arrow leads to "Application," featuring "Edutainment" with three components: "Serious Games," "Gamification," and "Digital Storytelling." A final arrow points to "Objectives," which lists three goals: "Education," "Historical Preservation," and "Public Engagement."

It's finally the weekend

Time to do the same thing we do every weekend:
Take over the world!

..more realistically, spend hours organising screenshots, videos, art and random folders that seemed like a good idea at the time

#DigitalArchaeology #Excavation
Archaeologists document an excavation using digital technologies. A researcher examines a 3D model of the excavation on a tablet, while a terrestrial laser scanner and a drone are used to capture the archaeological site.
