Abstract
Etruscanning is a project founded by the European Commission and it focuses on the investigation of new digitization and presentation techniques, in order to re-create the original context of the Etruscan graves. Several digital techniques have been applied for the stages of digitization, virtual restoration and reconstruction and communication. The possibility of working on two different tombs allows us to deep two specific approaches and to diversify the final real-time applications. This project represents an interesting opportunity to create a concrete link between research and communication in the field of virtual museums, testing the effective impact in terms of cultural transmission, learning and appreciation both in non-linear narrative plots conception and in novel metaphors of interaction. From a technological point of view the most innovative result of the project is the implementation of natural interaction interfaces, allowing the public to move and interact with objects inside the virtual environment.
