Abstract

Preserving and spreading spaces is a social function that should maintain together the people and cannot be less important than progress and development. Technology plays a media facilitator role allowing experiencing different spaces and places historically important but physically inaccessible for his disappearance. Recently, applications have been developed which revive cultural heritage using technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality and serious games. However, most are case studies reporting work in a specific subject and a methodological framework to guide and facilitate the development of such applications has not been proposed. In this paper, a conceptual methodological framework which guides the development of cultural heritage applications while maximizing the users' cultural heritage learning is proposed.
