Abstract
This poster presents the integration of the Kompakkt platform into the University of Cologne's CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment), forming the CAVE-Kompakkt Viewer as part of the broader "Virtual Campus" initiative. Kompakkt is a web-based tool developed for the exploration and annotation of 3D cultural heritage objects, supporting rich media content and FAIR data principles. The University's CAVE system provides the spatial framework for interactive visualization and collaborative research. The CAVE-Kompakkt Viewer serves as a bridge between web-based cultural heritage resources and immersive virtual reality experiences. It enables users to dynamically load, explore, and interact with 3D models in real time, offering an intuitive and high-fidelity environment for research and education. The system transforms the act of viewing into a spatial and embodied experience, enhancing understanding and engagement with digital heritage data.
