Archaeological survey and digital representation: an interactive platform for the dissemination of the project Baratti in 3D

The Scientific research in the field of surveying and digital representation has now consolidated methodologies that have seen an ever-increasing hybridization with new languages: at the same time, the massive diffusion of mobile devices gave us the opportunity of reaching an increasing number of users who are confronting today with these technologies. So the virtual reconstruction, based on the data collected during the surveying campaigns, offers the possibility to make interactive simulations and thematic readings of an archaeological site, allowing us to give shape to interpretative and reconstructive hypotheses: the digital reconstructions allow us to display complex information in a more complete visual way to create a communication channel aimed at a wide and diversified audience of users. From these methodological premises the Baratti in 3D digital platform is born, designed to store and display in an interactive way the results of research conducted on the site of Populonia (Piombino – Italy) in recent years.
