Abstract

This paper present an innovative VR application where the users, guided through structured narrative paths, are able to explore the space and the history of Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa. The application was realized in the course of a research project whose objective was to create a complete multimedia system related to the renowned monumental complex. In order to be accessible from a wide audience, the application is hosted in a dedicated website. Several optimization techniques and a novel state-of-the-art 3D web technology were used to take in account issues related to VR real-time constraints and the limited web bandwidth.
