Accessible cultural heritage

by
La Basilica di San Pietro
Context

Iconem captured over 400,000 high-resolution images using advanced photogrammetry techniques (drones, cameras, lasers) over a three-week period, which were processed by Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab on Azure to create an ultra-precise digital twin of St. Peter’s Basilica. The AI-driven model was refined with millimeter-level accuracy to detect structural vulnerabilities and enhance both interior and exterior visualizations, thereby supporting immersive, interactive exhibits and online cultural access.

Results

Exhibition accessible to 35M pilgrims; digital reach to over 1B viewers
