Preserving heritage through technology

Challenge

The Ermita de Viladecans in Barcelona preserves Gothic, Renaissance, and Modern mural paintings that have deteriorated over time. The challenge: how to restore their cultural and artistic value without physically intervening in the fragile works.

Idea

We applied WebAR technology to digitally reconstruct the murals, allowing visitors to experience them in their original splendor. The concept combined cultural preservation with an innovative, accessible mobile format.
