NUEVAS ESTRATEGIAS PARA LA VISUALIZACION Y DIFUSION DEL PATRIMONIO DESCONTEXTUALIZADO. EL CASO DE LA SILLERÍA DE LA CATEDRAL DE OVIEDO.

Starting from the case of the choirstalls in the Oviedo Cathedral, that were dismantled and partially rebuilt in the chapterhouse of the same building, this article describes the process of virtual reconstruction and subsequent interactive visualization of the original set in its context. To do that, equirectangular images of the current building are geometrically integrated with the virtual model of the stalls completely rebuilt from the photogrammetric survey of part of it, still preserved. The technique allows to combine real and virtual images in a hyper-realistic, interactive, and immersive way. It offers the viewer a "mixed" virtual tour of the cathedral central nave that incorporates the reconstructed virtual model in its originally designed location. The proposed methodology supposes a new visualization strategy that, in an economic, interactive, ubiquitous, and universal way, must allow progress in the dissemination of decontextualized heritage.
