Protocol design for digitalization of heritage Salvadoran culture, implementing virtual reality, photogrammetry and additive manufacturing processes

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop a protocol for the digitization of cultural heritage objects, using augmented reality, photogrammetry and 3D printing techniques, which allows standardization in the workflow. The
The methodology used for the development of this project was the search for bibliographic information, showing us the path for the development of the project, allowing us to know the different techniques used for the digitalization of images. During the
In search of information, a specialist with experience in the management of pieces classified as cultural heritage was interviewed, recommending the management of criteria for the selection of the pieces to be digitized, the importance of the protection of archaeological pieces, in addition, the high costs that generated by the use of new technologies in the development of these types of projects. Regarding the results obtained, a specialized protocol was created that guides the digitization of cultural heritage, allowing to obtain scale replicas of each piece, also being able to visualize them in a virtual environment, which allowed the interaction of the pieces to the general public. , with a total of 184 views during the period of execution of the project, all this with the purpose that the original pieces are safeguarded. In conclusion, this project facilitated the creation of the protocol for the digitalization of images of Salvadoran cultural heritage, promoting the use of new technologies in this field of study and allowing standardization for free exposure to all people without risk of damage.
