Abstract

Virtual reconstructions of heritage hold significant value as visualization and dissemination tools. However, from a scientific perspective, they present intellectual challenges, particularly when lacking accompanying documentation of the evidence and criteria considered during their creation. Invariably, there are elements of uncertainty that render these virtual recreations imperfect.
Since the early 21st century, representing uncertainty in virtual heritage reconstructions has been a consistent concern for researchers. Despite numerous proposals, a common protocol or universally accepted standards for addressing this issue have yet to emerge. With this communication, we aim to present a series of graphic tools proposed for use in virtual reconstructions of architectural heritage. This is intended as an interim solution while a definitive method guiding the process is being defined. The goal is to provide a framework that acknowledges and addresses uncertainties, ensuring a more nuanced and accurate representation of architectural heritage in virtual reconstructions. These tools are offered as a practical approach to enhance the quality and reliability of virtual heritage representations until broader consensus is achieved.
