Abstract

AbstractThere are different digital methods and technologies that offer various applications and techniques in the field of heritage documentation and archiving. Virtual Reality (VR) is one of those technologies. VR has not been intensively used in heritage documentation, although its functions provide more potentials than other digital methods and technologies. The study through literature review classifies and reports different digital methods and technologies used in architectural heritage documentation. The study proceeds to present details of a VR function developed by the author. The newly developed VR function is utilized in heritage documentation of a case study. The case study is an existing archaeological site and its monuments, including their digital heritage resources of different formats, such as texts and images. The VR function enables to control the display of different narrations and chronological changes of the case study or part of it, in one VR model. Moreover, the VR function enables the user to visualise a certain era or a certain model-location, with display of relevant digital heritage resources -whether text or image-. The study concludes by proving the effectiveness of the VR function.KeywordsVirtual realityMicrosimulation modellingArchitectural heritageHeritage documentationMicrosimulation function
