Dear Colleagues,
The richness of tangible and intangible Cultural Heritage (CH) poses great opportunities and challenges to the development of successful ICT tools for its curation, exploration and fruition. On the one hand, the digitalization of information is not enough to support a rich presentation of CH content if it is not sustained by curation methods enhancing information discovery, analysis and interactive visualization. On the other hand, as CH sites are extremely rich in objects and data, they expose people to much more information than it might be realistically experienced; therefore, efficient methods for information search, filtering and presentation are needed to help users find the items they are most interested in and to explore them online and onsite, focusing on personal viewpoints and information needs.
This Special Issue aims at collecting leading research at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Human-Computer Interaction and Cultural Heritage in an effort to highlight the latest exciting developments in this field and to discuss methods and techniques for designing, implementing and evaluating digital services for Cultural Heritage curation, exploration and fruition. We encourage the submission of research papers describing theoretical and experimental contributions, as well as visionary contributions discussing research trends and future perspectives in this field. In both cases, papers should describe mature work and include experimental validations of the proposed models, or a thorough analysis of the ground for future developments.
Topics of interest for the special issue include (but are not limited to):
Creativity and collaboration support in CH
Semantic knowledge representation and reasoning in CH
Mobile museum guides
3D and virtual reality for CH
Gestural interfaces for Cultural Heritage applications
Navigation and browsing in digital and physical cultural heritage collections
Interactive user interfaces for CH applications
Personalization and recommendation strategies for CH
NLP techniques for accessing CH information
Integration of virtual and physical collections
Context-aware information presentation in CH
Collective CH information authoring and management
IoT and Cultural Heritage
Living lab in museum
Robots in museums
Augmented Reality for Cultural Heritage
Use of Personality for guiding Cultural Heritage Experiences
Visualization techniques in CH
Multimodal interaction in CH
