Virtual and Augmented Reality in the Valuation of the Tunisian Cultural Heritage: Application to Thysdrus (ElJem) Amphitheater

We expose in this paper the use of real-time 3D imaging in the valuation of the Tunisian cultural heritage. We propose two applications based on virtual and augmented reality to expose heritage information interaction. These contributions are divided into two applications: a total immersion application and a mobile application using augmented reality. Total immersion is divided in two steps: modeling according to research from the architecture of Thysdrus and programming of interaction with the full immersion glasses (Vizux). The application of augmented reality is divided into two: one part uses markers pictures on a magazine to superimpose a 3D model and interactive augmented reality on thusdrus space for guided tour.
