An integrated information management system for consistent historic narratives and visualizations. Ghett/APP for the Venetian Ghetto

Paolo Borin

Abstract


The process of building narratives for cultural heritage involves heterogeneous information from multi-disciplinary sources. Consequently, in order to manage the complex transformation from information to narrative, the authors of the exhibition Venice, the Jews and Europe 1516- 2016 built a parametric BIM environment. This study presents the design of an application for mobile devices, Ghett/APP, able to direct the exhibition’s contents to the real Venetian Ghetto. Without any development kit, the system uses the overlaying of spherical images to explore the city’s past.
