Il volume illustra i risultati di un progetto di ricerca per la realizzazione di uno studio sulla figura umana di Luca Cambiaso e la elaborazione digitale di un manichino virtuale animato, i cui rendering vengono presentati nel Cd-Rom allegato al volume

Attraverso un’analisi sistematica di questi manufatti si e voluto dimostrare come, a Genova, la galleria fosse solo raramente concepita come spazio unicamente dedicato all’esposizione della quadreria: assume invece, molto piu spesso, la funzione di vero e proprio modulo architettonico fluido, dove l’oggetto della collezione puo essere messo in secondo piano per arrivare fin quasi a sparire del tutto; la parete, strutturata dalle linee di forza del reticolo architettonico, accoglie cosi ‘finti’ quadri ad affresco e ‘finti’ arredi scultorei a monocromo che – accanto alla presenza fisica di alcuni, selezionati, oggetti che cambiano a seconda del gusto e delle mode –...

She also invited the Faculty of Theology at the University of Ljubljana to participate, understanding from the outset the necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration and the seamless integration of art history with history and theology. Ana Lavrič's many years of meticulous archival work introduced to Slovenia an almost unexamined field to which she contributed groundbreaking studies. 2 Furthermore, she encouraged

Questa sorte di edificio fu parimento appresso agli antichi, come si legge nella vita di Lucio Lucullo, et altrove, et in vero sono di grandissima comodità, et accrescono meraviglioso ornamento alle fabbriche; ma però si convengono solo a signori e gran personaggi» 1 .

The App's software and user interface, developed by Xenia Production and Smartland Project s.r.l., are made to contain different levels of information, from the whole urban area to the single artistic artifact, inviting the visitor to experience a real route in the city and a virtual one in the in-depth analysis of its cultural aspects. The App is focused on the Strada Balbi and Piazza dell'Annunziata area, where a big part of the University's buildings are located: these buildings-which together form a public " extended museum " lived, inhabited and studied directly by the University-allow the academic environment, its researches, and the new discoveries made by the continuous studies on the artifacts it lives in to speak for themselves. In this regard the App, working with the large patrimony property of the Athenaeum, is meant not only for the external public, but also for the internal one, meaning the students themselves, for which it will become a learning tool and an instrument for a more direct experience. The results of the researches for the study projects, final papers, in-depths analyses and topicalizations will be immediately and directly communicated to the tourists and, why not, the city's inhabitants.
An easy to author dialogue management system for serious games

The aim of this work is to improve the learning experience by enhancing the immersiveness felt by the player. The system is implemented in a Service Oriented Architecture perspective and it exposes its functionalities through Web services. It also provides an easy to use authoring tool, which allows cultural heritage experts to define the character's knowledge without the need for learning a scripting language. We tested the system by embedding it in a simple serious game, where the user could interact with the virtual representation of a XVI century Geneoese artist, Luca Cambiaso, in order to acquire knowledge about his life and artworks. These early lab test results showed a high level of appreciation for the usability of the system and for the user engagement. Tests also showed that the system is a good didactic tool, since players demonstrated a similar level of knowledge acquisition to that achieved by reading a text.
A serious game model for cultural heritage

This article gives an authoring framework that aims to provide structured support, from content design to final implementation. In particular, we have abstracted a conceptual model—the SandBox Serious Game-which relies on a generalization of task-based learning theory. The model invites players to perform cognitive tasks contextually ...
