Digitization of Artefacts from the Nautical Collection

The digitization, documentation and 3D modeling of artefacts from the nautical collection that are of particular educational interest was the base on which the development was supported. The 3D objects are presented in an image recognition and augmented reality application that amplifies the printed cards included in the hybrid "phygital" museum kit of the Foundation, and aspire to offer an interactive and multidimensional experience to the student public.

Educational Game: Walk In My Shoes

The educational application titled "Walk In My Shoes" aims at the sensitization of tenagers and young adults to social issues, perceptions and stereotypes. Through a Virtual Reality app, the children can observe various conversations, in which they can intervene in order to change the outcome. The VR app is completed with a tool specialized for the entertainer/educator, that is used to create the dialogues, select expresions and characters to be included in the Virtual Environment, creating new stories every time.
