This scenario is meant to showcase the re-use and enrichment of 3D models originally created for a public digital platform as a virtual research environment, equipping humanities scholars and citizens scientists to explore and research the city heritage. Target audience are citizen researchers investigating specifically genealogy.
The city of Sion, the capital of the canton of Vallis in Switzerland, has a rich heritage since the Bronze age which has been researched and turned into 3D city models of the town depicting three relevant historical periods: 1630, 1770 and 1820. In 5Dculture these models will be extended to a virtual research environment that provides researchers access to images and texts and enables them to explore the historic city enriched by their content.
