Abstract
This project is based on the use of extended reality teaching resources prepared by architecture students at the University of Seville. A 360º video and an application have been created that allow us to carry out an on-site heritage itinerary of Seville from anywhere. The main objective is to increase the accessibility of heritage, especially aimed at integrating people dealing with some degree of intellectual disability. In this way, students of architecture are encouraged to integrate in their work how this social group understands the architectural space. For this purpose, students use tools such as extended, online, and 3D reality, super-expandable images and an easy reading system through pictograms. During the project we faced barriers including the lack of knowledge and training of architecture students in communication systems adapted for intellectual disability, such as easy reading techniques, pictograms, or audio descriptions. In the long term, we face problems to continue the project, its application and updating. We would need to find computer specialists to update the app and facilitate its individual adaptation to each intellectually disabled person. The main lesson learned was to understand what inclusive heritage means, and the practical and available possibilities of ew technologies to widen the accessibility and democratization of heritage. This project has been selected as a “good parctices” in Strategy21 at Conseil of Europe https://www.coe.int/en/web/culture-and-heritage/-/heritage-itineraries-for-intellectual-disabilities
