Over the last ten years, social and technological transformations have radically revolutionized the way of promoting and communicating territories and their cultural values and identity, increasing at the same time the need for knowledge and experience of citizens and tourists. In this perspective, the development of virtual and interactive applications with gaming dynamics enables new mechanisms of transmission and use of historical memory. The CHER project aims to revolutionize the way in which cultural and landscape heritage is used and enhanced through the creation of a framework that innovatively integrates technologies and heterogeneous skills in the context of cultural and creative industries. The development will follow two technological directions, Virtual Reality and Touchable Video, whose mutual integration will be enabled by the study and application of gamification logic and thanks to the adoption of cinema paradigms. All this will be achieved thanks to the collaboration of a network of regional actors who will make available their skills and experience in heterogeneous sectors (Cinema, Museums, Archaeology, Technology), also benefiting from the support of the University for research and innovation.
