Visual Experience in a Pompeian Domestic Space

This project investigates visual perception in Roman houses and how perception was manipulated through architectural design, movement and lighting to convey specific messages about the owners’ social identity and status. The examined case study focuses on the House of the Greek Epigrams in Pompeii. In this study, an innovative approach is presented, combining several computational methods, including Virtual Reality-based Eye-Tracking and 3D Geographical Information Systems. The goal is to provide new insights into space perception within Roman domestic environments.
