Polyptych in Saint George’s Church, an Inclusive Virtual Tour

At Annone di Brianza (Italy) in the Church of St. George, it is possible to admire the “ANCONA DELLA PASSIONE" (altarpiece of the Passion), an altarpiece painted and gilded carved wood cabinets. The great altarpiece adorned the right side chapel of Saint John the Baptist, whose construction dates back to the first half of the century XVI at the behest of Annoni, one of the most authoritative families of Milan of the sixteenth and seventeenth century. Since 2019 the altarpiece has been protected inside a special room in order to avoid damage caused by the temperature and humidity. Access to this room is not allowed to people who visited the church. In order to allow the user to admire and explore each minimal detail of the polyptych altarpiece a totem has been designed and it’s located just outside of the special room. The totem in fact is composed of a 32 in. touch screen with a PC embedded and the Virtual tour application. The Virtual tour application has been developed with Unity3D. The interactive application has different virtual scenes with photos, videos, an external digital twin of the polyptych with both, open and closed doors.
