CASA DEL CORDÓN Virtual tour

“CASA DEL CORDÓN Virtual tour” is an application for general use on mobile devices commissioned by Fundación Vital Fundazioa (www.fundacionvital.eus) and developed by Arkikus (www.arkikus.com).

The virtual reconstruction included in this app aims to show the historical evolution of the "Casa del Cordón" palace of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country, Spain), in an immersive and unique experience that shows 15th and 16th century architecture and scenes with different characters from history in a realistic way.

All the digital content in the mobile app has been developed based on real graphic, documentary and archaeological sources for the reconstructed spaces. Where such original documents for particular elements are no longer available, parallel architectural and/or decorative examples from the same period of time, region and style have been used to ensure the greatest historical accuracy possible. The reconstructions included show an interpretation of the historical surroundings designed in conjunction with specialists based on the information available when the app was created. Future investigations may subsequently alter these interpretations.
