Recent research:
The researcher undertakes an integrated program of digital heritage preservation, playful learning with immersive technologies, and ICT-enabled urban services. Across AR/VR platforms, interactive narratives and gamified experiences, the work centers on (1) preserving intangible cultural heritage and teaching history through interactive 3D representations, (2) leveraging AI, machine learning and data-driven design to support educational games that foster sustainability, animal protection, and digital literacy, and (3) deploying smart-city infrastructures (LoRaWAN, sensors, digital twins) and serious games to enhance urban services, road safety and civic engagement. Methodologies span SCRUM-driven development, MVC architecture, 3D modeling (Blender), game engines (Unity, Unreal), AI techniques (Behavior Trees, Blackboard), data analytics (NLP/LSA), and user-centered evaluation with experimental or survey-based validation. The impact is demonstrated by high user satisfaction, learning improvements, increased awareness of social issues, and contributions to digital transformation in education and public services. Future work emphasizes content expansion, device compatibility, and social features to broaden educational and cultural reach.
