Exploring Cultural Heritage Sites with Digital Twins and Virtual Reality starting from real 3D data

The goal of the project is to develop an immersive and user-friendly platform for exploring cultural heritage sites using Digital Twins and Virtual Reality (VR). The platform will use real 3D data (i.e., point cloud and meshes) collected from cultural heritage sites with various techniques such as UAV photogrammetry and laser scanning and integrate it with other relevant data such as images, labels, text, or sensor data to create a digital twin of the site. The platform will be intuitive, allowing non-expert users to easily explore and interact with the site.

Technologies: JavaScript, Unity, Python, Basic of C/C#

Developing a web platform for the exploration and analysis of 2D and 3D data of Belvedere glacier monitoring

The goal of the project is to develop a user-friendly web interface for the exploration of 2D and 3D georeferenced data resulting from the Belvedere Glacier monitoring campaigns. Such platform will be built on top of a database (e.g. PostgreSQL + Django), managing update, visualisation and search of data like orthophoto, digital terrain models, pointcloud and Ground Control Points saved as vector files. All these products are the results of the processing of data collect periodically in-sity with UAV-photogrammetry, laser scanning, GNSS and fixed-cameras. A good knowledge of GIS technologies is essential with familiarity with programming (mainly Python).

Technologies: GIS (preferably QGIS), Python, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript (basics)
