For the first time, the Francisco de Vitoria University (UFV ) has awarded €1,200 for a patent application actually made and registered in the SPTO Registry under the title ARQGAN: “Method for obtaining an image with a restored object” . This project, led by Álvaro García Tejedor (director of the Center for Studies and Innovation in Knowledge Management-CEIEC), Alberto Nogales Moya (CEIEC principal investigator) and Emilio Delgado Martos (EPS deputy director of research), focuses on the creation of a novel Artificial Intelligence tool that reconstructs architectural heritage in real time.
ARQGAN opens up a world of possibilities thanks to virtual reality. “Through the use of augmented reality glasses in the enclave itself, it will be possible to see the completely reconstructed ruin in real time,” says Emilio Delgado Martos. This fact will offer a very interesting prospect of work in the coming years from the perspective of research in the fields of archeology and tourism, since it provides the possibility of introducing a new experience to the user and the consumer in these enclaves.
