Abstract

The Invisible Heritage - Analysis and Technology (IH-AT) project, led by The Cyprus Institute, was co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus through the Research and Innovation Foundation.
IH-AT focused on the multidisciplinary study of the UNESCO-listed "Painted Churches in the Troodos Region" through a wide array of digital non-destructive technologies used to analyze their structures and lost features.

In order to achieve a real impact on modern society, the digital models of the UNESCO churches have been 3D printed. The physical replicas will be donated to local stakeholders and installed in several locations to enhance the tactile experience of visually impaired people.
The project was supported by the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus and the Embassy of Italy in Nicosia, with the technical support of the School of the Blind "Agios Varnavas".
