Virtual and Diffusion Analysis of the Edicole Sacre (Street Shrines) of Rome
The project has two major goals: (i) On a macro, city-wide level, employ the Rome Research Group’s (Hamilton) geographic database of edicole sacre to conduct a spatial diffusion analysis (Ye) examining the origins and spread of the devotional practice in Rome to the present. (ii) On a micro, individual level, develop a prototype virtual model of a “restored” Roman edicola (employing NJIT’s SpatioScholar [Ozludil]) and track the visual experience of subjects at the shrine (Vinnikov).
