Designing XR (Extended Realities) Experiences for Cultural Heritage Education and Preservation in Brazil

The lecture will explore how Extended Realities (XR) — Augmented and Virtual Reality — can be used to design educational experiences that connect cultural heritage, memory, and physical space. Drawing from Brazilian case studies, Diego Ricca discusses how XR design can foster informal learning, strengthen cultural preservation, and integrate human attentional levels into immersive narratives. By exploring the intersection of Architecture, Design, and Digital Technologies, he presents strategies for linking educational information to built environments through XR. His research and practice show how design methodologies support both academic and real-world projects in museums, heritage sites, and public spaces.
