ローマ・フィレンツェ・ベネチア・ミラノのレストラン、ホテルなど観光情報を紹介 イタリア観光ブログ

Dear bloggers,
if you come to Rome you have to visit “L’Ara com’era” (“The Ara as It was”).

It is the first systematic virtual enhancement of one of the most important masterpieces of Roman art, built between 13 and 9 BC to celebrate the Peace established by Augusto on the territories of the Roman Empire.
It worth it a visit because this event combines history and technology at the same time.

Tourists can see the innovative story of the Ara Pacis and the origins of Rome thanks to two new points of interest in Virtual Reality (launched in October 2016 and further enhanced since 20 January 2017), combining live cinematic footage, 3D reconstructions and computer graphics. It allows a full immersion in the ancient Northern Campo Marzio where you can witness the first virtual reconstruction of a Roman sacrifice. All this allows the public a deeper involvement with the museum's reality.

Visitors are transported back in time to relive the past from a privileged location. Immersed in a 360° environment they can admire the Ara Pacis, while discovering its original colors.

They can float above the altar, plan on the Campo Marzio and attend the sacrifice, carried out by true actors, always standing in the center of the scene.

Only few monuments have been able to convey, like Ara Pacis does, history, beliefs, ideals and ambitions of an entire era. Starting with the reliefs depicting the sacrifice of Aeneas and those with the birth of Romulus and Remo, all the characters, gestures, deities and animals illustrate the origins of Rome and the family of Augustus.

 “L’Ara com’era” combines different technologies, creating virtual worlds in which both real characters and characters rebuilt with computer graphics join the scenes. The traditional green screen shot with the involvement of real actors has been embedded in a 360° environment, through an innovative software.

It proposes an innovative experience of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, unique in its genre. Using specific AR (Samsung GearVR) viewers and the camera of the devices inserted in them, virtual elements and real elements merge directly into the visual field of viewers.

The application recognizes the three-dimensionality of bas-reliefs and sculptures, and digital elements appear to the visitor as “anchored” to real objects, contributing to the effectiveness of a magical experience!

The narration is able to create a deeper emotional impact with the public.

The experience within the Ara Pacis Museum takes about 45 minutes and it starts every 15 minutes. It is available in 5 languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish and German.

I inform you that viewers can not be used under the age of 13.

Thank you,

Guenda
