The project aims to create a virtual museological prototype to illustrate to a specialist and non-specialist public the lifestyles of a medieval population, using the tools offered by the Reverse Engineering acquisition and modelling techniques and by mixed reality (interactable holographic objects). The virtual tool we propose must be integrated into the overall experience of university museums and must be read as a complementary extension of a direct experience that cannot be totally replaced, but whose limits can be overcome. An exhibition case can contain only a limited number of information, while in a virtual set it is possible to view many and interact with them. The museum object can be examined from all perspectives, it can be manipulated by the viewer, it can also be connected to other objects with which it can engage in a dialogue. Furthermore, we do not have to identify a specific type of user of the virtual tool, because it is open to different possibilities of in-depth study and to the creation of 'personalized' paths.
Starting from the case studies of an adult male and a female individual from Cencelle (Grande Scavo Sapienza), with particular characteristics of historico-medical, archaeological and paleopathological interest, we intend to create at the Museum of the History of Medicine a station where, within the path dedicated to medieval medicine, it will be possible to interact with the skeletal remains of the individuals, investigating aspects of daily life, eating habits, working conditions and health.
Informations about individuals will come from a study characterized by high levels of interdisciplinary interaction, involving medical historians, archaeologists, museum experts, engineers, anthropologists, and physicians.
Our Project intends to be the first step for the creation of a start-up Sapienza, widely usable in research and medical history and archaeology teaching experiences but also exportable to different areas and museums.
