Abstract

The challenging task of protecting cultural heritage involves many different techniques, such as 3D modeling, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and conventional methods. In order to gain a greater understanding how cultural heritage preservation techniques have evolved, this study will examine into how conventional approaches have given way to the integration of cutting-edge technologies, with a particular emphasis on Mixed Reality (MR) and 3-dimensional (3D) modeling. Through an investigation of theoretical frameworks in cultural heritage studies and technology adoption theories, the primary objective is to provide an in-depth understanding of the critical assessment and limitations inherent in the application of MR and 3-D modeling. Through an overview of application cases encompassing site selection, 3D models and visualizations, and MR demonstrations, the findings section will offer insights into the implications for the safeguarding of cultural heritage. Taken into account, the use of 3D modeling to the preservation of cultural heritage offers up new avenues for advocacy, interpretation, and involvement, enabling people to actively participate in the preservation of our shared cultural past.
