“Smart Interoperability: Integrating Photogrammetry-Based Heritage Models in Blender for Rural Digital Transformation” by Gianluca Emilio Ennio Vita at Blender Conference 2025

This presentation explores how Blender is being used within the digitalization strategy of Territorio Mudéjar—a network of rural municipalities in Spain—to integrate 3D photogrammetric models of Mudejar heritage into open, interoperable systems for education, conservation, and public engagement. By aligning with the FAIR principles and Europeana standards, we demonstrate how Blender supports high-quality rendering, annotation, and reusability of digital assets while addressing rural challenges like limited technical capacity and proprietary barriers.
