Participatory Storytelling, 3D Digital Imaging and Museum Studies: A case study from Sicily

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how the participatory and crowdsourcing project #iziTRAVELSicilia can be a significant tool in the dissemination of 3D models on cultural heritage. This project has been recognized as a best practice in the co-creation of cultural value, both in regional digital marketing and digital promotion and valorization through digital storytelling and crowdsourcing the interpretation of cultural heritage. Since its inception, thousands of people produced over 180 audio guides for cultural heritage sites. In this paper we briefly present the project and the case of the Archeological Museum ‘Paolo Orsi’ in Siracusa (Italy), as better practice in dissemination of digitized cultural heritage through platforms such as Google Street View and izi.TRAVEL, which can be used to disseminate 3D models such as those made by USF IDEx for the ‘Paolo Orsi’ Museum.
