Evolutionary Time Lines, Hypothesis of an AI+AR–Based Virtual Museum

The contribution related to the processes of knowledge and enhancement of cultural heritage, based on the potential offered by Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality, proposes an analysis of the situation of L’Aquila’s buildings ten years after the 2009 earthquake. The research, conducted on the basis of integrated surveys carried out before and after the earthquake, focuses on the application of AR/ VR devices through the implementation of AI. The aim is to propose a solution able to promote the use of the historical buildings of L’Aquila, activating at the same time the dynamics of cultural regeneration in the area, through the use of an App that uses AR+AI systems; a tour that can show with immediacy the urban architectural evolution, solving in part the intrinsic difficulties posed by the current situation of precarious visibility and accessibility of some noble buildings, subject to restoration, with the aim of highlighting the evolution of transformations, stylistic and structural changes produced by the different and stratified post–earthquake reconstructions.
