Abstract
New technologies are revolutionizing various aspects of our lives, and likewise, digital tools are playing an increasingly crucial role in safeguarding, preserving, and valorising cultural heritage. The digitization of archival documents and ancient books, the development of augmented reality apps for museums, and the creation of virtual environments set in both accessible and restricted cultural or landscape contexts, are examples of the use of the new technology in the field of cultural heritage. In this context, the projects “Cosmic Pages” and “Touch the Sky” were developed. One of the main goals of these projects was the realization of the virtual exhibition Look up! Sfoglia il cielo con un dito. It is an effective virtual tool aimed at enhancing and giving maximum dissemination of the collection of the star atlases, cometographies, and selenographies at the INAF Observatories. This virtual exhibition was designed and realized allowing the visitors to discover, explore, and understand how our knowledge of the cosmos, the Moon, and the planets has evolved and changed with time. Using the most advanced technologies, virtual reality, 3D models, videos, etc., digital visitors can explore the scientific and cultural contents of the star and cartographic atlases.
