Archaeological Heritage in 3D as an Educational and responsible dissemination tool: Iberians and the 5DCulture project

Presentation given by Alberto Sánchez, Alberto (University Research Institute for Iberian Archaeology, University of Jaén) at EAA 2024 in the session organised by CARARE 'Making Connections: Towards Archaeological Narratives in Contemporary Society'. This is a joint presentation with Carmen Rueda, Carmen Rísquez, José-Manuel Fuertes, Rafael-Jesús Segura, Antonio-Jesús Rueda, Manuel Lucena, Ana Herranz, Isabel Moreno amd Inmaculada Cubero, (University of Jaén. Spain).

From the University Research Institute for Iberian Archaeology of the University of Jaén (Spain) we are working on a programme of activities that delves into the possibilities offered by digital archaeological heritage from different training and educational perspectives. Currently, within the framework of the European project Deploying and Demonstrating a 3D cultural heritage space (5DCulture) (Digital Europe Program) and the CARARE Network, we develop an extensive research and transfer programme that emphasizes 3D technology as a fundamental tool to get closer to the knowledge of the societies of the past, paying special attention to the Culture of the Iberians (6th-1st BC).
In this presentation we show the approach, actions and innovative resources designed for dissemination on which we have been working from a collaborative framework and with inclusive perspectives. We will present some of our strategies based on the search for technical innovation and new materials that help generate more enriching and direct practices with archaeological heritage and that contribute to universal accessibility through recognized platforms such as Europeana. We will conclude with the presentation of our experiences of educational and social transfer environments aimed at school groups at different levels (primary, secondary and university education) and also for people with special needs or impairments.

Navilenscodes
•LONG DISTANCE.
•NO FOCUS. No focusing required, essential for visually
impaired people.
•ON THE MOVE. Navilens detects labels while the user is
walking.
•PRECISE DISTANCE AND ORIENTATION. Navilens
reports the distance to the label. In addition to the
distance, Navilensindicates the angle of inclination of the
label.
•MULTIPLE READING. Detects many labels
simultaneously, presenting them in a comfortable way to
the user.
•IT'S FASTER.
