In detail, we are focusing to the objective “ICT for Access to Cultural Resources” and target “Technologies for the digitisation of specialised forms of cultural resources”. The proposal is concerned with the development and transfer of technologies of integration between ICT and geophysics sensing techniques for application in the field of cultural heritage. In particular, the main aim of the proposal is to build a “technological bridge” able to connect the geophysics community, owner of the sensing/diagnostic technologies, with the world of the stakeholders. This bridge could be made by the set-up of visualization and rendering of the investigated scene, starting from the outcomes of the geophysical techniques, in an “understandable” way to non expert end-users.
