Virtual legacy: AI and immersive technologies as a means of saving culture memory

Abstract

At present time, with the rapid development of information technologies, the issue of preserving culture heritage has acquired new forms and meanings. It is the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) that has resulted in unique opportunities for reconstructing, documenting, and conveying culture memory. Application of these technologies make it possible both preserving physical artifacts and recreating non-material elements of our heritage (languages, rituals, music, and oral traditions) by the use of interactive educational digital experiences.
