Abstract :
Among the most current tools aimed at enhancing heritage experiences are serious games (SG), video games designed with an educational objective. What seems to be missing is a SG targeted to raise public´s awareness of the fundamentals of Conservation Theory and Practice: the heritage values system and the concept of authenticity. This report will elaborate on a proposal for a Serious Game focused on disseminating the aforementioned concepts through interaction with the 3D model of the Stoa of Attalos in the Ancient Agora in Athens. The digitization pipeline for the production of a realistic model, thus contributing to the authenticity, will also be described.
