Abstract

With ancient monuments, it often happens thatfollowing their discovery components of them have to be moved,albeit temporarily, to museums in order to carry out restorationwork. In the case of funerary contexts, a consequence of this is thede-contextualization of grave goods and furnishings, making itimpossible to convey the significance of the archaeologicalmonument as a whole. An effective solution to this problem can beachieved by using technology to provide virtual experiences inwhich the grave goods, for example, are virtually restored to theiroriginal contexts.This paper presents the "Marta Racconta. Storie Virtuali diTesori Nascosti" project, co-financed by the Fondazione Cassa diRisparmio di Puglia, undertaken by CNR-IBAM (Lecce, Italy) inorder to install a virtual platform in the National ArchaeologicalMuseum of Taranto (MARTA). The project aims to make'accessible' ancient monuments from the Greek Taras (the ancientTaranto), such as the Twin Tombs Monumental Complex, theTomb of the Festoons, and the Hypogeum of the Gorgons,discovered some years ago in Via Otranto. The first two of the thesemonuments are closed to the public, while the third was filled inand is currently located below a road.From a technological point of view, a real time 3D platform forimmersive stereoscopic visiting was developed, with a navigationsystem using a 'natural interface' and commands executed withsimple hand gestures. Using this technology, visitors will be able tofollow an integrated knowledge itinerary based on heterogeneouscontent including historical and archaeological data and the resultsof archaeometric analyses. This involves spatial navigation within ahyper-realistic environment where it will be possible to interact withthe 3D structures, to query the database and to interact with thegrave goods.
