This article presents the development of a 3D sailing simulator designed to preserve and revive Portuguese nautical heritage by virtually reconstructing traditional Tagus River sailboats, including the <em>Falua</em> and the <em>Muleta</em> fishing boat, and allowing to sail them. The 3D models, created in Blender using Primitive-Based Modeling, were optimized for real-time performance while retaining historical accuracy. A key challenge was balancing visual realism with computational efficiency to enable physics-based simulation in Unity. The simulator integrates aerodynamic and hydrodynamic modeling to replicate realistic interactions between sails, wind, and water, providing an engaging and hands-on experience. It reproduces the sailing dynamics of the <em>Falua</em> across all points of sail and the unique sideways trawling technique of the <em>Muleta</em>, while also allowing users to experiment with sail configurations and wind conditions. In doing so, the project demonstrates how modern digital technologies can both preserve intangible maritime practices and offer immersive educational experiences that foster appreciation of cultural heritage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38225,"journal":{"name":"Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article e00475"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145466321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The handloom and textiles heritage of NorthEast (NE) tribes of India plays a crucial role for establishing the cultural identity of the tribes of this region. Their traditional fabrics hold oral narratives that reflect the beliefs and customs of their past tribal society. Industrialization had led to commercialization of these fabrics but the oral legacy associated with it remained underappreciated and unrecorded. This research work proposes a system design model with an innovative integration of Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to revive the traditional identity of tribal fabrics. The heuristic evaluation and user testing of the prototype application developed, yielded positive results, confirming its effectiveness in its usability and potential for promoting ICH, particularly among the young generations. The findings validate the positive outcome of the prototype in elucidating the cultural significance associated with the fabrics shedding light on the rich oral history embedded in these fabrics.

This paper introduces a multifaceted approach to harness the power of digital applications for the conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of architectural heritage in Brunei Darussalam. In the face of the relentless march of time and the ever-present threats of urbanization and environmental deterioration, the need for innovative approaches to heritage preservation has never been more urgent. This research proposes the integration of state-of-the-art technologies, including 3D scanning, aerial photogrammetry, Virtual Reality (VR), and Filmmaking within a comprehensive framework designed to revitalize architectural and urban heritage. These technologies serve as the keystones for documenting and analysing architectural heritage sites, enabling the creation of meticulously detailed digital models and immersive virtual experiences for education and tourism development. Beyond their role in preservation, these tools are poised to reshape public engagement and educational initiatives, offering a glimpse into the past while ensuring its relevance in the present. Integral to this approach is the recognition of the indispensable role played by community engagement and stakeholders collaboration. This study emphasizes the need to include local communities, heritage enthusiasts, and governmental bodies in the decision-making process. This collaborative and multidimensional effort aims to create a holistic approach to architectural heritage conservation that seamlessly marries technological advancement with cultural and social values. This paper unveils the transformative potential of this multidimensional approach within the unique context of Brunei Darussalam. The findings underscore the ability of digital applications to not only preserve architectural heritage but also to enhance its sustainability. By intertwining historical accuracy with technological innovation, government agencies and communities can bolster the cultural significance of architectural heritage, opening doors to tourism, while safeguarding its historical authenticity, and straightening the values of cultural diversity. This paper advocates for a holistic and multidimensional approach to digital applications in architectural heritage conservation. This approach, which harmonizes technology, community participation, and heritage stewardship, promises to ensure the endurance and cultural prominence of architectural heritage in the digital age. It invites everyone to reimagine the preservation of the past in ways that are not just technologically advanced but also deeply rooted in the values and aspirations of the communities that cherish these invaluable treasures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38225,"journal":{"name":"Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article e00465"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145364031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
