This project seeks to digitally recover, restore and preserve the architectural heritage of Uruguay through 3D scanning, with the aim of creating an interactive Metaverse that represents this heritage. To do this, virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality (VR/AR/MR) technologies will be used as key tools. The spectrum of relevant buildings is wide, considering works of architecture with structural, formal and testimonial value. The digitization of these works presents diverse challenges, from urban to rural settings. It seeks to establish a consistent methodology using data capture and processing tools, as well as open standards for the exchange of information. In addition, the importance of involving the community in the study and use of the selected architectural heritage is emphasized.
