    360° Virtual Tours at the National Roman Museum. Making Culture Heritage Participatory, Accessible, and Personalized
    (The Eurographics Association, 2025) Torre, Eliana Maria; Poce, Antonella; Andone, Diana; Tãtaru, Marius-Cosmin; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
    As agents of social change, museums should promote inclusivity and accessibility. Despite the challenges of achieving this part of the museum's mission, it is possible to address them on a case-by-case basis. This paper outlines a segment of an ongoing doctoral research project at the National Roman Museum (MNR) in Rome, Italy. First, the concepts of inclusivity and accessibility are discussed. Next, it is explored how Virtual Reality (VR) and Digital Storytelling (DST) can enhance inclusive education. Following this, three 360 virtual tours are introduced, integrated with a DST approach, and created in Delightex. This section outlines how the platform operates, its features, and the technical process of creating the tours. The design principles for making the tours accessible and catering to the diverse interests and needs of various audiences are also addressed. At the current stage of the experimental phase, user experience evaluation involved two main groups: experts in IT and design, and the general public, which comprises individuals with varied demographics and digital skills. This paper presents preliminary results from the experimental stage, outlining the next steps for future development and implementation.

    Increasing Heritage Accessibility Through Sustainable Digital Content Standards
    (The Eurographics Association, 2025) Haynes, Ronald; Malamos, Athanasios; Marchetti, Vincent; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
    This workshop focuses on increasing heritage accessibility through sustainable digital content standards, sharing expertise to discuss 3D Web standards like Web3D and IIIF. Enhancing skills for creating inclusive, sustainable digital content, and exploring how standards support heritage data access and sharing, participants will learn about implementing these standards (e.g. X3D, glTF, IIIF), discuss integrating 3D content across cultural heritage spaces, and consider options for using AI in 3D recognition and generation. The goal is to help in leveraging standards for accessible, sustainable experiences.

    Towards Diversity-Oriented Exhibition Planning: Findings from the Kura: Div Study in Austrian Museums
    (The Eurographics Association, 2025) Draxler, Sandra; Hofer, Bernhard; Pass, Claudia; Fauland, Sabine; Knoll, Bente; Aschauer, Andrea; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
    This paper presents findings from an online survey among Austrian museum professionals, conducted as part of the Kura:Div project. The survey examined how diversity and inclusion are considered in exhibition planning, what strategies and accessibility measures exist, how their effectiveness is evaluated, and how museums collaborate with external communities. Results show that while the majority of institutions acknowledge audience diversity and have taken first steps toward inclusion, efforts are often fragmented, project-based, and reliant on individual initiatives rather than embedded in institutional structures.
