The foundation to this event was laid by the Indian Digital Heritage (IDH) project (2010-2014), which was a unique initiative of the Department of Science & Technology supporting collaborative projects between researchers in the areas of technology and humanities for the digital documentation and interpretation of our tangible and intangible heritage.

The goal of the IDH Research Project (www.digitalhampi.in) was to extend the power of digital technologies to well beyond monuments to art, architecture and all forms of cultural and historical knowledge. The aim of the project was to go beyond simply storing and sharing the heritage data and knowledge and use emerging technologies to create vivid experiences of the heritage for common users. IDH initiative gave birth to some of the most advanced techniques and technologies in digital heritage preservation, and DST motivated setting up of technology start-ups to translate this research into commercial products, one of them being Vizara Technologies Pvt Ltd.

Two edited books on Digital Heritage work being done in India, which come out of the IDH project and have been published by world renowned publishers Springer, will be launched at the occasion. These are “Digital Hampi: preserving Indian Cultural Heritage”(https://www.) and “HeritagePreservation : A Computational Approach” (https://www.springer.com/gp/)
