Abstract

This paper proposes new methodologies for virtual reconstruction and comprehensive treatment of the resulting historical landscapes: (1) The introduction begins by considering relationship that already exists between heritage, virtual reconstruction and mixed reality; (2) The main aim of this research is to develop a digital methodological tool based on geo-referenced and augmented reality, which allow visualization, analyze and interpret the evolution in the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage; (3) Throughout the process of virtual reconstruction of a trench of the Spanish Civil War, difficulties have arisen that have allowed us to reflect on the effectiveness and usefulness of this type of process in the field of cultural and historical heritage; (4) The methodology and action presented have been designed to offer an innovative tool that can be integrated into previous and subsequent strategies to improve conservation and disseminate heritage.
