Computing and ancient greek technology: immersive technologies and storyliving virtual worlds for understanding and dissemination of the Antikythera Mechanism
Abstract
The Antikythera Mechanism is the most typical example of ancient Greek technology. Since its discovery until today, research into its functions and structure has continued unabated. In 2005, thanks to interdisciplinary international cooperation, new data collections were produced, which contributed to the decoding of several of the Mechanism's secrets. However, limited access to Computed Tomography scans for various reasons, the most important ones being based on limited computational and financial resources to procure specialized commercial applications for their analysis, has kept them behind laboratory doors. On the other hand, technological advances in immersive technologies such as augmented reality are becoming more accessible. The progress of the creative industry of video games and the democratization of game engines have created new challenges in various scientific fields. In this context, we explored and mapped technological tools for open research and the democratization of ...
