Item DC-NET: The Establishment of the Digital Cultural Heritage Network(The Eurographics Association, 2010) Francesco, Giuliana De; Alessandro Artusi and Morwena Joly and Genevieve Lucet and Denis Pitzalis and Alejandro RibesCore concern of the DC-NET project is to develop and to strengthen the coordination of public research programmes in the sector of Digital Cultural Heritage across Europe and to raise awareness of the possibilities offered by e-Infrastructures to help carry out advanced research programmes. The Network of Common Interest established by DC-NET will provide the forum for coordination. DC-NET Network will agree a set of common priorities for digital cultural heritage research and will work with e-Infrastructures providers to identify how best to carry out this research using the National Research and Education Networks, GRID and other eInfrastructures. A Joint Activities Plan for e-Infrastructure-enabled research in digital cultural heritage will be generated and initiated. This work will pave the way to a series of innovative initiatives and the creation of Virtual Research Communities active in the digital cultural heritage research, powered by access to e-InfrastructuresItem A Virtual Tour of the Walls of Nicosia: An Assessment of Children's Experience and Learning Performance(The Eurographics Association, 2010) Michael, Despina; Zaharias, Panagiotis; Chrysanthou, Yiorgos; Alessandro Artusi and Morwena Joly and Genevieve Lucet and Denis Pitzalis and Alejandro RibesModern-day museums employ technologically advanced methods and equipment to facilitate the dissemination of information and education of their visitors. Such a system is installed at the Leventis Municipal Museum in Nicosia. An interactive application that runs on a multi-touch table allows the user to navigate through a 3D representation of the fortifications of Nicosia in different historical periods. In this paper, we assess the visitors' experience and learning performance/effectiveness using this system. We compare the results with those achieved using a traditional method, which is by studying printed maps exhibited at the same museum. We performed this comparison with a user study, involving two groups of children, each using one of the two different methods. Results show that users enjoy using the system and that their learning performance is much higher than that of the traditional method.
