Description
The Roman Empire left behind incredible architectural and cultural legacies, but much of Roman daily life has been lost to time. This project aims to digitally reconstruct a Roman square using immersive 3D environments and AI-powered characters — allowing users to walk through history and experience a day in the life of a Roman citizen. From conversing with merchants to attending a public forum, this concept brings archaeology to life in a way that is interactive, educational, and deeply human.
It connects the ancient past with modern learning by using digital heritage tools to promote critical thinking, cultural awareness, and appreciation of historical lifestyles. This virtual heritage experience supports SDG 11.4 by contributing to cultural preservation and public access to historical environments.
