From 25 to 27 June 2025, ETT will take part in the XR-Metaverse Conference<\/a> in Maastricht, an international event promoted by the International Association of Immersive Technology Innovation<\/a> (IAITI), now in its tenth edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s theme, \u201cBridging between realities: transformative, inclusive and sustainable XR\u201d<\/em>, brings together researchers, innovators and professionals to explore the impact of immersive technologies on culture, society and transformative processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ETT will contribute to the programme with two papers showcasing advanced virtual reality applications in the context of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, through two museum-based projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first, \u201cFS: Preserving Railway Heritage Through Immersive Experiences: The Pietrarsa Museum Approach\u201d<\/em>\u2014nominated for the Best Industry Paper Award<\/strong>\u2014will be presented by Adele Magnelli and Aurelio Destile of ETT, along with Sabato Gargiulo of the FS Italiane Foundation. The paper describes the experiential approach adopted at the National Railway Museum of Pietrarsa, where XR technology is used to enhance railway heritage through immersive and interactive storytelling<\/a>. The experience combines narrative direction, cutting-edge audiovisual techniques, and multisensory environments to offer a new way of exploring Italy\u2019s industrial memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second paper, \u201cWhen the \u2018Supreme Poet\u2019 Guides the Virtual Journey to the Destination. VR Experiences at the Dante House Museum of Florence (Italy)\u201d<\/em>, is authored by Alessandro Cavallaro (ETT), in collaboration with Mariapina Trunfio and Cecilia Pasquinelli, Associate Professor at the University of Naples Parthenope. The paper explores how virtual reality connects the museum visit to the construction of the destination\u2019s tourist image, through an immersive journey into Dante Alighieri\u2019s Florence. The VR experience at the Dante House Museum allows visitors to explore the poet\u2019s symbolic places through an emotionally rich, historically grounded narrative. With 360\u00b0 footage<\/a>, spatial audio and a carefully crafted storytelling structure, the visit becomes a journey that redefines the relationship between heritage, cultural identity and the urban imagination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
