The Brixia Time Machine project, realised by ARtGlass in collaboration with CarraroLab and Telecom Design for Brescia Museum Foundation, has been awarded the Golden Prize for Interactive Media at F@AIMP2.0 (Festival of Audiovisual International Multimedia Patrimony) organized by AVICOM, the International Committee for audiovisual and new technologies for image and sound of the International Council of Museums.
The prize, that for the first time is assigned to an Italian institution, has been awarded on 22 November at the National Hungarian Museum in Budapest during the international conference MUZEUM@DIGIT.
Brixia Time Machine offers visitors a unique time-travel experience thanks to wearable devices (smart-glasses) that allow visualising 3D reconstructions of the Roman Forum of Brescia in perfect overlap and full transparency with standing remains: an immersive mode of visit that projects the visitor into the Imperial era, providing new keys for interpreting the Archaeological Park and its evolution through time.
