The building, being transformed into the ''Cité des imaginaires,'' is documented using CIDOC-CRM ontology, Omeka-S, and GraphDB to enable digital twin modeling. The AIDEN VR platform allows immersive 3D exploration of historical data via gestures, movement, and voice. This innovative tool enhances understanding and promotes digital access to complex heritage. The project also raises ethical and methodological issues, aiming for transparent and rigorous digital preservation of industrial memory.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Human-centered computing Information systems → Information retrieval → Users and interactive retrieval Applied computing → Arts and humanitiesHuman centered computing Information systems → Information retrieval → Users and interactive retrieval Applied computing → Arts and humanities10.2312/dh.202531737 pages
