The Last Supper Interactive: Stereoscopic and ultra-high resolution 4K/3D HD for immersive real-time virtual narrative in Italian Renaissance Art

This paper discusses the Last Supper Interactive (LSI) project, a real-time immersive and interactive, virtual narrative stereo application based on the Last Supper (Italian: L'Ultima Cena); a late 15th century mural painting by Leonardo da Vinci located in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, in Milan, Italy. Alberti's theorem virtual tool, a virtual immersive interactive learning device, inspired by Leon Battista Alberti's rules of linear perspective (Costruzione Legittima) was designed and implemented for LSI, serving as an interactive tool for the user.
