    Analysing visitors' behaviour in museums and cultural sites is a key element to manage spaces and artworks arrangement. Museum stakeholders and curators may benefit from technology to improve the visit experience. This paper presents the preliminary results of the ARTEMISIA project, which aims to exploit Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to study, design and develop a methodology to interpret visitors' behaviour within a museum context. The Museum of Rome (Italy) Palazzo Braschi was selected for the project's first stage. The objective is to combine existing research with analytical techniques using data acquired from new generation stereo cameras (users' stand-still positions, viewpoint direction, movements) and other biases commonly used in the retail market (users' flow towards corridors, level of attention, etc). Mapping, and further predicting, users' patterns in regard to the museum arrangement may help to suggest changes in the space (new indications, updated storytelling or changes in thematic configuration). AI algorithms analyse data gathered from motion sensors in order to obtain a grid of references of all criteria related to users' experience (UX) and the effect of a museum visit on them, identifying new forms of visitors profiling and leading to the development of customised applications in public and private contexts.

    Hybrid XR Collaborative and Guided Experiences in Cultural Heritage: Brancacci POV Prototype
    (The Eurographics Association, 2023) Pescarin, Sofia; Cerato, Ivana; D'Annibale, Enzo; Fanini, Bruno; Ferdani, Daniele; Fà, Rachele Manganelli Del; Marasco, Alessandra; Massidda, Marcello; Palombini, Augusto; Ronchi, Diego; Bucciero, Alberto; Fanini, Bruno; Graf, Holger; Pescarin, Sofia; Rizvic, Selma
    In this work, we present a research prototype of a hybrid XR experience for cultural tourism, accessible by any potential device, including immersive VR headsets. It has been designed to better answer visitors' expectations and to overcome the limitations offered by traditional Virtual Tours (VT). We present the conceptual model, prototype, applied case study and users survey. The overall result has shown how the development of a collaborative and guided experience, enhanced by the use of a gamified narrative, has produced an increased perception of authenticity of the VT.

    The NuragAI project: Artificial Intelligence-driven Image Analysis of Sardinia Landscape, Searching for Unknown Monuments
    (The Eurographics Association, 2023) Palombini, Augusto; Baiocchi, Edoardo; Lanzino, Romeo; Malatesta, Saverio Giulio; Marini, Marco Raoul; Rosati, Paolo; Bucciero, Alberto; Fanini, Bruno; Graf, Holger; Pescarin, Sofia; Rizvic, Selma
    The NuragAI project aims at using an AI approach for image analysis of satellite imagery, in order to identify the nuraghi monuments (typical monuments of the Sardinia region, Italy, lasting from 1.8 to 0.7 ky BC), exploring the landscape and attempting a systematic survey of the Sardinia island. At the moment, a preliminary training has been performed, with an exceptionally positive result, and an earlier experiment of use. The satisfactory results are leading the authors towards a systematic analysis of the satellite imagery of the whole region, in order to check new monuments and open new perspectives for the use of AI in archaeological research.
