Integrated Approach to Web 3D Publication of virtual Landscapes

The OpenSource approach offers today new possibilities in the field of Cultural Heritage. New 3D tools are now available and particularly usefula for real time and 3D reconstruction of archaeological landscape. The processing of geographical data, GIS and Remote Sense dat can be completely maintained even in the creation of Virtual Reality Applications. The paper describes the application (desktop and web) of tools such as OpenSceneGraph and Virtual Terrain in the case of the Archaeological Park of Appia Antica (ancient via Appia, Rome - Italy).
