Virtual Resources for the Modeling and Visualization of Stately Homes from the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries

Abstract

The aim of this work is to present graphic and historic architectural studies of several stately houses. Research took place in a physical space, the Castellón province (Spain), and for a space of time, the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and forms part of the area of conservation, value, and dissemination of architectural heritage. For this purpose, a large number of bibliographic data were collected and specific activities were carried out in the graphic expression field, such as architectural surveys. These consisted of exhaustive fieldwork and cabinet work, conducted to obtain a considerable quantity of precise data to allow modeling, to allow the studied buildings, or part of them, to be visualized in both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), and to spread this unknown architectural heritage on digital social networks.
