Tuesday 22 September, 18:40 – 19:00Main StageSince it was founded in 2013, Iconem has leveraged the latest innovations to document heritage sites under threat, from conflict zones to UNESCO World Heritage sites, turning raw data from the field into precise 3D models at a scale and speed no other process could match. This talk retraces that journey: how cultural heritage digitization and AI became inseparable from the start, and how the company's ongoing R&D pushes further, enriching these models into spatialized knowledge systems and intimate, immersive experiences for all. Alongside the technical path, expect a visual journey through some of the most striking digital twins produced to date, and a look at what AI still has to offer a field where what is lost cannot be recaptured.
