ETCHEBERRY, Eugenia Inés Ahets; LANDINO, Matías Roberto e GHECO, Lucas Ignacio. Immersive technologies and scientific communication: considerations from the development of a 360° tour through La Candelaria Cave (Dpto. Ancasti, Catamarca). Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2024, vol.17, n.1, pp.347-356. Epub 30-Abr-2024. ISSN 1852-060X. http://dx.doi.org/10.31048/1852.4826.v17.n1.43413.
In recent years, mass media and digital devices have reshaped the practices of scientific communication on a global scale, introducing new strategies for transmitting the academic knowledge. This work reviews an application experience of immersive technology in the public communication of an archaeological rock art site in the El Alto-Ancasti Mountain (Catamarca, Argentina). These exceptional rock paintings have been investigated since the 1980s. However, much of this knowledge remains within the academic spheres, presented in formats that are not easily accessible to many people. With the aim of introducing this rock shelter and its academic knowledge to diverse audiences, we set out to develop a virtual, interactive and immersive tour that is freely and openly accessible. Reflecting on the challenges faced during its production, we will revise the opportunities, advantages and limitations that the application of immersive technologies presents for scientific communication in archaeology. The conclusions of this work underscore the importance of incorporating stages of maintenance and feedback of the generated resource to promote its impact on society.
