About the Project
The project aims to shed light on the cultural heritage of the Church of San Sebastiano in Venice. Located in the Dorsoduro district, it is a place of great artistic importance but is often less frequented by tourists compared to other Venetian landmarks.
The “Temple” of Veronese
The church is known as the “Temple of Veronese” because it houses a vast cycle of works by the master Paolo Veronese, who is also buried there. He worked on the decoration of the complex for about twenty years (1555–1570), painting the ceiling of the sacristy, the ceiling of the nave, the frieze, the eastern part of the choir, the high altar, the doors of the organ organ, and the presbytery.
The project offers an interactive guide to discover the church’s history and its masterpieces through Augmented Reality (AR).
An Inclusive Experience
The experience is designed to be inclusive and accessible to everyone:
- For the Blind and Visually Impaired: The guide provides audio descriptions of the artworks.
- For the Deaf and Hard of Hearing: All descriptions are available in text format.
- For Non-Experts: A glossary is provided to explain specific artistic terms, making the content easy to understand for those without an art background.
How it Works
The tour takes approximately one hour and guides visitors through 10 points of interest:
- Exterior: 3 stops starting from the bridge outside.
- Interior: 7 stops inside the church.
Visitors can use their own mobile devices to scan the architecture and access the content.
