  • Communicating the spatiotemporal transformation of architectural heritage via an in-situ projection mapping installation

    Exploring how architectural heritage changes over time is key for its documentation, conservation, and public understanding. Advances in physical computing, like sensors and digital projections, make projection mapping a promising tool for depicting heritage directly on buildings, offering a more contextual and experiential understanding. This paper discusses using an interactive projection mapping installation, controlled by a tangible user interface, to convey the spatiotemporal evolution of a medieval chapel over 850 years. Findings indicate enhanced visitor engagement and social interaction, suggesting recommendations for integrating such technologies in heritage presentation.
