    Cultural Continuity in Crisis: The Interaction of Virtual Tourism and Heritage Culture in War-torn Sudan
    (INFORMATIK 2024, 2024) Tahir, Gabass M.; Elkhalifa, Akram A.
    Since April 2023, Sudan has been embroiled in a devastating war, resulting in the loss of much significant cultural heritage all over the country. This study aims to explore how virtual travel and digital tools can help preserve Sudan’s cultural heritage by leveraging technology. The methodology included a literature review, digitalization case studies, and qualitative methods, such as interviews with cultural heritage and tourism experts. The study discussed how Sudan could use digital tools during the conflict to preserve its cultural heritage, one of the key results of this study is the digitization process to preserve Sudanese cultural heritage through and after the conflict for future generations. The call to digitize the remaining non-destructed heritage sites is essential through VR, digital technologies, 3D scanners, photogrammetry applications, and digital platforms to share it with a global audience.

    Digital Transformation Of Cultural Heritage In Sudan: An attempt to save a nation’s history, the case study of old Dongola and Al-Khandag, Sudan
    (INFORMATIK 2024, 2024) Khalifa, Alaa; Alhaj, Lina
    Sudan has a lengthy past that dates back to thousands of years before the birth of Christ. In the city of Merowe alone, there are more than 200 pyramids, more than there are in all of Egypt. There have been several experiments and initiatives aimed at digitizing Sudan’s cultural legacy, but the majority of them focused on folklore; little attempt has been made to preserve the physical cultural heritage. The paper discusses the status of Sudan’s historic sites and the outcomes of previous digital conservation efforts. It addresses these issues within the context of digital conservation trails of physical monuments using photogrammetry, highlighting the urgent problem posed by the nation’s on-going civil war and its impact on conservation trials. Utilizing photogrammetry scanning software Metashape, the sites of Old Dongola and Al-Khandag were selected for conservation trials. This approach enabled the creation of digital models of the monuments, ensuring their accessibility in the event of conflict or potential deterioration.

    Patterns for immersive Augmented Reality multi-user experiences in cultural heritage
    (INFORMATIK 2024, 2024) Bitter, Jessica L.
    While augmented reality (AR) applications in cultural heritage (CH) gain popularity, they rarely target multi-user scenarios. To address this gap, this paper proposes a possibility space of patterns with common parameters for multi-user immersive AR experiences for the specific scenarios in CH settings. The visiting phases 'guiding' and 'exploring', extended by 'explanation', are mapped to three different types of groups and a pattern for each of the resulting scenarios is provided. In addition, examples are drawn from previous experience working on immersive AR applications in a natural history museum.
