dc.description.abstractThis paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the ancient city of Pergamon through the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). By developing lifelike avatars modeled after historical depictions of ancient Pergamenese, the project enhances user interaction and immersion within a digitally reconstructed cityscape. Utilizing advanced 3D modeling, VR, and AI technologies, the ancient city of Pergamon is revived, allowing users to experience its cultural and architectural grandeur during the Hellenistic period. AIpowered avatars traverse the virtual city, offering historical narratives and contextual information about significant landmarks, thereby bridging the gap between historical scholarship and interactive edutainment. This dynamic interaction serves as a novel educational approach to preserving and disseminating cultural heritage. By synthesizing historical research with state-of-the-art digital tools, the proposed framework underscores the potential of VR and AI in creating immersive historical experiences that engage contemporary audiences while preserving the cultural legacy of ancient civilizations. © 2025 IEEE.
