AI and New Digital Education
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Lacriola, Michele; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on society and research cannot be underestimated.We urgently needs to address this transformation with a strategic and long-term perspective, also involving historical sciences. From a historical standpoint, artificial intelligence raises three main issues: the use of AI to support research, the reliability of the information generated, and the digital literacy that must be imparted to students. Specifically, it is expected that historical research and student activities will increasingly rely on AI tools, despite current limitations in distinguishing automatically generated content. This challenges us to reverse the problem: how can historians, especially at the academic level, effectively leverage AI and pass these skills on to students? The central challenge lies in learning to speka the language of AI content production, known as prompt engineering. This discipline involves formulating optimized inputs for AI models to obtain more relevant and accurate responses, thereby increasing productivity in historical research without compromising the quality of critical analysis. The goal is not to create a technological tool but to design an innovative approach that enables historians to fully exploit AI's potential while maintaining the centrality of source criticism and methodological rigor. Through advanced application of prompt engineering, historians can improve research, interpretation, and communication processes, addressing some of the traditional challenges associated with historical source analysis. The new methodology aims to equip historians with conceptual tools to manage and analyze large amounts of data, evaluate sources more effectively, and narrate history in a more dynamic and accessible way. Moreover, the integration of AI in teaching will open new opportunities to make learning more interactive and personalized, stimulating students' critical thinking and enhancing their historical understanding. This interdisciplinary approach, combining humanities and computer engineering, will prepare future historians for an increasingly digital research landscape.
Ambiances Integration in the HBIM Process Towards an Ambient Twin: A Literature Review
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Bouzgarrou, Nadia; Hussein, Faten; Lescop, Laurent; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
This paper discusses new methods for digitally valorizing a heritage by proposing the inclusion of sensory and atmospheric dimensions within Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) workflows. The age of digital transformation has afforded unprecedented tools through immersive technologies and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), with which to enrich heritage beyond its geometric documentation. Instead of reframing or transforming the experiences of cultural heritage, we propose to turn to a poetic-sensory model with an awareness of the ambient as the mediation between the physical and experiential dimensions. Through a critical literature review and analysis of HBIM projects in Tunis (Tunisia) and Nantes (France), we both take stock of current practices and suggest future possibilities for defining ambient and in-tangible knowledge using HBIM as the modality. Importantly, our Research supports the evolution of digital twins to encompass ambient twins, to document, capture and ultimately portray emotional attachments and cultural significance of heritage places. The proposed model is currently being developed within the framework of a joint PhD. The case studies in Tunis and Nantes aim to identify relevant tools and methods to capture, store, and integrate atmospheric data into HBIM environments.

The development of the app called AskGate originated from the results obtained by the Italian Archaeological Mission MAECI (Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation). The research group, consisting of architects, archaeologists, physicists and artists since 2020, has been working on the case study of the so-called church of Santa Maria in Viridis, within the ancient city of Ascalona (Israel) under the direction of Prof. C. M. R. Luschi. The main challenge was to find a language capable of expressing the process of scientific research which would involve the user. The theme of the representation adopted for the app entrusts the narrative in its significant parts to the eloquence of the image, respecting the gestalt linked to the use of the smartphone.
Architectural Surveying, from Point Cloud to CAD/BIM: Towards Automation of Data Processing for Large-Scale Projects
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Muyle, Carla; Schenkel, Arnaud; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
As part of a project to digitize the infrastructure of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, a semi-automated digital acquisition methodology was developed to create a 3D inventory of the buildings on the Solbosch Campus. The objective is to build an up-to-date graphical database to facilitate the daily maintenance of the sites and support future renovation projects. A systematic workflow was therefore established: one that is both tailored to the constraints, challenges, and goals specific to each building, and that incorporates automated data processing methods to ensure efficiency, consistency, and scientific accuracy throughout the acquisition process. The ultimate aim is to produce coherent datasets that are aligned with one another, streamlining procedures for projects of similar nature and scale. The long-term value of this approach lies in the potential to fully automate certain stages of the workflow, thereby improving efficiency while maintaining high standards of data accuracy.
