Alto Minho 4D: Travel through the Time

Within the project “Alto Minho 4D - Travel through the Time” Unloop was challenged to develop a solution aimed to guide the visitors through different periods and municipalities of Alto Minho region, making the process of discovery of distant locations and tracing the presence of preserved heritage, as simple as it is.
Likewise, was developed a solution allowing visitors to access information about locations and visualize them in 3D. This initiative cherishes the region's heritage and offers new experiences for its visitors, promoting exploration of the region.
The journey through time begins with Time Stations available in each municipality of Alto Minho. Each Time Station serves as a “portal” offers attractions, interactive experiences, and recommended places to visit, thus promoting a cultural circuit across Alto Minho. These solutions were implemented in associated municipalities including Arcos de Valdevez, Caminha, Melgaço, Monção, Paredes de Coura, Ponte da Barca, Ponte de Lima, Valença, Viana do Castelo, and Vila Nova de Cerveira.
Overall, the project features 10 cultural routes covering various themes such as Route of Rock Art and Megalithism, the Route of the Castros, the Route of the Roman, the Route of the Romanesque to the Gothic, the Route of Monasteries, the Route of Discoveries, the Route of Castles and Fortresses, the Baroque Route, the Traditional Architecture Route and the Modern to Contemporary Route.

An interactive solution that allows users to access diverse information about the route available at the Time Station and visualize 3D models of the main cultural sights of the region via a touch screen and Holographic Pyramid. Visitors can manipulate the models using familiar gestures like rotating and zooming.
The visual style of the application was designed to transmit the idea of the journey through time, the historical and cultural itinerary, and the identity of each region. Likewise, the color solution for each application varies between different cities.

FEATURES:
1. Consult information about landmarks that make part of the thematic rote.
2. Check related image gallery and localization.
3. Preview a 3D model of the landmark represented on the holographic pyramid.
4. Explore other interesting locations to visit throughout the territory.

In order to provide a realistic representation of each model with photographic quality a three-dimensional survey of historical landmarks was conducted using a photogrammetry method. Based on the collected material, we recreated in 3D the landmarks that make part of various cultural itineraries within the project “Alto Minho 4D - Travel through the Time”.
