Each publication needs to be accompanied by a full or an additional paper registration.
The event aims at engaging practitioners and researchers across the world working at novel digital technologies and approaches to Cultural Heritage. This year, the event will take place in the historical center of Lecce, in Italy.
The first half of the week will be dedicated to GCH (4-6.09.2023), while the second half to XRSalento (6-9.09.2023).
On the 6th of September, a special interactive session will be held by the two conferences, jointly, dedicated to “XR for Cultural Heritage“, that will contribute to cross fertilisation among sectors. The event will run in presence.
GCH 2023 welcomes presentations of new research, projects, applications and best practices that demonstrate how computer graphics and digital technologies are impacting cultural heritage research, preservation, simulation, dissemination and promotion of sustainable cultural tourism. Specific sessions are organised to seek new challenges and projects involving different stakeholders of the heritage ecosystem. Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome to the event. Focus of this year’s forum is to present and showcase new developments at the crossroads of AI technologies with rendering, reconstruction and advanced user experiences applied to the cultural heritage.
Aim of EG GCH is to foster discussion between AI, Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, HCI and Digital Heritage researchers, in a collaborative environment with cultural institutions, scholars in the cultural heritage domain and creative industries.
We encourage the community to participate in the panel discussion on promises and concerns about the adoption of AI and reconstruction technologies by scientists and practitioners in the field of Creative Industries and Cultural Heritage.
For the research community, GCH 2023 will provide an excellent scientific forum to exchange novel ideas and groundbreaking developments as well as to identify future research opportunities. For practitioners and students, GCH 2023 will provide a unique opportunity to feed into technical developments as well as to identify new techniques and ideas which can be transferred into practice.
