- Abstract:
- In December 2022, DigiLab of Sapienza University, Rome, partnered with Società Cooperativa Culture to potentially develop a metaverse prototype, ArcheoVerso, dedicated to cultural heritage. ArcheoVerso aims to leverage digital universes to enhance both tangible and intangible Cultural Heritage, creating an ecosystem for best practices in immersive and augmented reality and economically sustainable metaverse solutions. With an estimated market value of $758.60 billion by 2026, a significant subscription rate for Meta, and hefty investments by leading companies in engaging systems, the metaverse presents an immense opportunity. Like social media, it serves as an excellent communication and enhancement tool for cultural heritage, driving unprecedented public involvement and economic impact. Platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram are merging digital and physical reality, reflecting philosopher Luciano Floridi s concept of onlife in a phygital world. This transformation is evident in recent cultural studies.
