Digital Visualization and Multimedia for Cultural Heritage Accessibility: Designing “For All” Video-Tours at the Archaeological National Museum of Naples (MANN)


Abstract


In recent years, drawing disciplines supported by digital technologies have played a fundamental role in the interdisciplinary approach to communication. Digital media and ICT in general are a versatile means of managing and customizing communication at different levels according to the user’s personal needs. The paper presents the output of a recent research funded by the Archaeological National Museum of Naples (MANN), which aimed at designing four video-tours, each customized according to the different needs and functioning of a large, diversified target audience, also including users with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by exploiting the potential of Virtual Reality.
