20.500.12556/RUL-181702 Graphic reconstruction of a Roman mosaic with animal emblems and its digital interpretation This contribution examines the use of ICT in mosaic heritage to enhance the user experience in heritage interpretation. The study focuses on the digital graphic reconstruction of a Roman mosaic featuring animal emblems. As the original mosaic is no longer physically accessible, the reconstruction relied on the systematic collection, comparison, and analysis of diverse visual sources, including archival photographs, historical drawings, and related documentation; photography and drone capture; digital assembly of borders of hand-drawn mosaic elements; and systematic assembly and completion of repetitions in representative mosaic motifs and observational color and design refinement of animal emblems. The article outlines the mosaic’s schematic layout and the key reconstruction steps, resulting in a digital representation developed within the limits imposed by the available evidence. The outcome demonstrates that combining historical research and digital graphics can effectively support the preservation and communication of cultural heritage. Finally, an augmented reality application for interactive presentation of the reconstructed mosaic is introduced, enabling users to explore both the reconstruction process and the interpretive meanings of individual mosaic elements, thereby enhancing engagement and understanding. roman mosaic animal emblems dionysus graphic reconstruction augmented reality rimski mozaik živalski emblemi Dioniz grafična rekonstrukcija navidezna resničnost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-04-14 04:36:02 2026-04-14 11:09:27 2026-04-15 04:25:14 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 22 str. iss. 3, art. 108 Vol. 9 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 665 2571-9408 10.3390/heritage9030108 274980099 heritage-09-00108.pdf heritage-09-00108.pdf 1 FB1086C265DE20A0765785DF99457CB3 3abab1f46f3cad397145692e99ea1e3aadaa52ebca0ed9be7622c3c5cfd74812 4ba2229d-37e1-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=232402 https://www.mdpi.com/2571-9408/9/3/108 1 774ceefe-37aa-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=232382 Naravoslovnotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
