Intelligent Interaction in Cultural Heritage

Dear Colleagues,

The innovations of information technology are quickly becoming widespread in the domain of cultural heritage. Recent developments in human–computer interaction have enabled the creation of new, effective, and user-friendly products and services for uses related to this domain. By applying new technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and computer vision, significant value-added services can be created that facilitate understanding, appreciation, and preservation of cultural heritage; bring cultural heritage closer to people; impressively display the value of such heritage; and reach a broader audience than ever before. Moreover, the adoption of advanced information technologies within the domain of cultural heritage affects the creative industry, the tourism industry, the public sector, and more.

Recent developments, such as creative interactive digital tools, can improve the access and exploitation of the rich and diverse digital cultural heritage. These can be used in a wide range of cultural-heritage-related areas and can include digitization, intelligent curation, re-use, reinterpretation, understanding, personalization, adaptation, protection, restoration, archiving, and preservation, among other.

Therefore, this Special Issue on “Intelligent Interaction in Cultural Heritage” welcomes submissions of original research works related to the application of interactive digital tools and methodologies to the concept of cultural heritage. The call is open to a broad thematic range of papers covering recent innovative results, research projects, case studies, reviews, comparison studies, and developments.
