Resumen
- Chan Chan, an archaeological site located at Trujillo, Peru, is a huge historical settlement very large and difficult to visitand some well-conserved architecture, like Huaca Arco Iris, is very far from the core centre of the site. Furthermore manyother heavy factors, as illegal excavations, marine salt transported by the wind and the sometime devastatingphenomenon of the Niño, are the reasons of the lost of many decorative elements, which are covered due toconservation issues. To overcome the aforesaid problems, we designed, developed and realized the museum exhibitioncalled “Esquina Multimedia”, providing the tourists with interactive and enjoyable applications. An Augmented Realityapplication has been developed in order to discover ancient artefacts that are invisible because covered by the earth (orby protection structures). A web-browser has been specifically designed to show bas-relieves, with HD visualization andwith anaglyph stereoscopic view. Herewith, a wall-mounted panel representing a metric 3D reconstruction by an accuratesurvey of the building helps the user to find the artefact position.
