Workshop with impact assessment in the chapel of the Magi in Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Florence Augmented reality with multimedia and cognitive technologies

The first private chapel for which the Pope granted permission in the middle of the fifteenth century, in Palazzo Medici in Florence, frescoed with the Procession of the Magi by Benozzo Gozzoli, has recently become the setting for an experience of guided perception with the support of multimedia technologies and augmented reality in the workshop “Procession in time through to the splendour of the interior epiphany”. The research detects the psychophysiological responses induced by immersion in an enriched environment.
