DigHeritage24: Digitalization of Cultural Heritage Hochschule RheinMain Wiesbaden Wiesbaden, Germany, September 26, 2024

About the Workshop

This Workshops takes places as part of the annual conference of the German Informatics Society: Informatik Festival 2024, 24. – 26. September 2024, Wiesbaden Germany.

Cultural heritage creates identity to people, society and nations. But in many regions of this world tangible cultural heritage is in danger due to erosion or political conflicts. Thus, cultural knowledge is lost and cannot be passed on to future generations.

This workshop deals with the urgent question of the possibilities of digitalizing and virtualizing cultural heritage in order to preserve it digitally and make it accessible to a broad audience, regardless of space and time.

We invite theoretical and applied contributions from the following areas:

• Photogrammetry, Lidar-Technologies, 3D-Scanning Technologies
• Technical workflows for the digitization of cultural heritage and the creation of digital twins
• Spatial Design, XR, VR, AR and Interactive Environments in the context of digitalization of cultural heritage
• Ethical Questions of Technology in the context of digitalization of cultural heritage
• Digital restoration of cultural assets
• Possibilities of AI in the context of digitalization of cultural heritage
• Sustainable tourism and virtual traveling
• Data storage and digital preservation of data, databases for digitalization of cultural heritage
