A WebXR-based plattform for mixed geometry-based and image-based exploration of cultural heritage models

The great advances in 3D digitization and upward trend in remote services have led to a growthin demand for virtual museums and applications to explore cultural heritage. While it is true thatvirtual museums are not a novelty, many of these applications are still not very accessible or present several limitations. In this master's thesis, we have developed a web application to explore culturalheritage models without restrictions. The application offers the user a collection of high-quality photographs from the environment surrounding the user, which can be projected onto the model.Our application is also compatible with virtual reality headsets providing the same features in amuch more immersive environment. After developing our application, we have carried out a pilotuser study to assess its effectiveness objectively and know the issues that should be addressed inthe final product
