These topics were addressed by paper sessions, demos and poster sessions. We are very grateful to the Program Committee and Local Organizing Committee members for their support and for the time spent to review and discuss the submitted papers and doing so in a timely and professional manner. We would like to sincerely thank the keynote and tutorial speakers who willingly accepted our invitation and shared their expertise through illuminating talks, helping us to fully meet the conference objectives. We extend our thanks to the University of Salento for the enthusiastic acceptance to host the conference and the sponsors (*) for providing support in the organization of the event. Last but not least, we would l...

The current shift towards semantic encoding opens the way to the creation of interfaces that allow the users to build personal paths in heritage collections by exploiting the relations over the artworks. In the attempt to leverage this multiplicity of paths, we designed and implemented a system, called Labyrinth 3D, which integrates the semantic annotation of cultural objects with the interaction style of 3D games. The system immerses the user into a virtual 3D labyrinth, where turning points and paths represent the semantic relations over cultural objects, with the goal of engaging the user in the exploration of the collection.

His show has traveled European cities and the American new frontier, letting visitors “enter” into far painted cities or ancient history episodes. The Cinema Museum, in the movies archaeology section, digitally proposes the same experience. A small cylindrical cave houses the Digital Panorama, a semi-immersive environment, which creates visual and audio panoramas and back in time journeys into Turin cinema history. The visual-tactile interface design is of note because it has been designed to be equally available both by blind and seeing people, as for the Cinema Museum philosophy “a museum for all”. This paper illustrates the project critical points, the choices operated during the operating process and the interface reviews.

In this paper we describe Labyrinth 3D, a virtual environment where the user can navigate the semantic relations among the items contained in a repository of artworks.
