Virtual Heritage (VH) is a promising and challenging application
domain for advanced digital communication and processing.
The rapid evolution of hardware and software pervasive
computing technologies creates many exciting opportunities
for bringing VH applications to a new level of user participation,
where highly interactive, multimedia data streams can
be exchanged, in real-time, among untethered users working
together in a complex virtual environment. This work demonstrates
how the integration of several advanced technologies (mobile
hardware platforms, high -performance rendering engines,
platform-independent software development toolkits) enables
the development of innovative VH applications, where peer-to-peer
multimedia interaction takes the center stage. This project
has been held in thight cooperation with CINECA
supercomputing center in Casalecchio (BO -Italy)
