Framing devices for works of art and hypotheses for an immersive use of cultural patrimony

Abstract

The project envisages the development of innovative and immersive fruitive solutions through the use of an eye tracking device, capable of identifying the points of greatest interest for an observer and, therefore, of suggesting possible set-up criteria useful for maximizing the visiting experience on a cognitive level. The project focuses on a specific category of frames characterised by a complex wealth of information that is, through the presence of repetitive decorative motifs, also extended to less elaborate types (up to and including images without borders), in order to identify whether and which of these can be considered ‘indices’ and vehicles capable of catalysing the attention of observers towards specific aspects of a visual construct.
