Anchorage/Miesbach in May 2021 – The software producer DAT/EM Systems International of Anchorage (USA) and the 3D hardware specialist Schneider Digital from Miesbach (Germany), have announced a global partnership agreement for the distribution of the latest 3D stereoscopic vision technology from Schneider Digital to all DAT/EM customers around the globe.

Archeofoss 2020 presented a new strategy to avoid using specific innovative technologies / methodologies / software just for fashion and instead pushing responsible thinking depending on the resources spent and data produced. This is the philosophy of Filippo Diara and Fulvio Rinaudo in their work on the use of BIM methodology in Cultural Heritage (abstract available in https://zenodo.org/record/4002961#.YHgzlOgzaUk).

IDS GeoRadar, part of Hexagon, today announces that it has enhanced IQMaps, its post-processing software application for advanced GPR data analysis. The updated version includes new functionalities that improve the visualisation of radar data and extend the application fields to void detection and archaeology.

In Archeofoss 2020, Domizia D’Erasmo and Renata Ago presented a description of a methodology capable of analysing urban mobility in 18th century Rome, a period of great change, using opensource GIS platform (abstract in https://zenodo.org/record/4002961#.YHgzlOgzaUk).

In Archeofoss 2020, Gabriele Ciccone showed how to use open source tools to elaborate thermal images and create archaeological 3S surveys and orthophotos (abstract in https://zenodo.org/record/4002961#.YHgzlOgzaUk), as part of his Phd project “Flying off-site: nuove metodologie di indagine per l’analisi dei paesaggi storici”.

In Archeofoss 2020, Filippo Brandolini and Francesco Carrer presented a new FLOS-based interdisciplinary approach to see the transition from Roman into the Medieval Period (abstract in https://zenodo.org/record/4002961#.YHgzlOgzaUk). This article shows how using QGIS, GRASS GIS and R is allowed the development of a solid statistical assessment of human interaction with alluvial environments and archaeological landscape.

In Archeofoss 2020, F. Battistin, S. De Angeli, F. V. Moresi, P. K. Fayad and M. Serpetti presented an article on RESEARCH -the European project on REmote SEnsing techniques for ARCHaeology- (abstract available at: https://zenodo.org/record/4002961#.YHgzlOgzaUk). This project aims to assess the damage caused by soil erosion to the CH, in exposed and buried archaeological areas. For this purpose a specific FLOS tool was developed, to create high resolution risk maps.

Inside the project STABLE (co-funded by the European Commission, carried out in the context of the HORIZON 2020 program supervised by EU Authority - Grant Agreement No: 823966), the consortium members are working on the structural stability risk assessment of the cultural heritage.

In STABLE (STructural stABiLity risk assEssment - Grant Agreement No: 823966) one of the goals is to summarize the various methods used for the vulnerability assessment and conclude with the required parameters that need to be collected from each structure of the chosen case studies.

Archeomatica participated in the guided tours of "I Viaggi di Adriano" and had the opportunity to enjoy the virtual reality system produced by the company "Carlo Cestra Digital Productions" which, in collaboration with the brand "VRBackToThePast ", offers virtual time travels, making the visit more interactive, and certainly innovative, compared to the guided tours we are used to. The VR system, consisting of a series of panoramic videos visible through a VR headset, has been developed after years of experience in digital reconstructions and animations in the archaeological and scientific field by the Carlo Cestra company which is specialized in the creation of digital content for museums and documentaries, and is capable of creating high resolution images and videos for both normal screen projections and 360 ° panoramic views.
