Available and Implementable Technologies for Virtual Tourism: A Prototypal Station Project

Authors report here their experience and knowledge on the state-of-the-art in relation to a prototypal station for virtual tourism, able to relate geomatics references to cultural content and to offer a whole experience, involving users also from the sensory point of view. That’s nowadays a specific purpose of new technologies applied to cultural heritage.
