The aim of this project is the creation of a web-based platform for the organization, management, visualization and dissemination of the products of the multi-level documentation of the UNESCO site of Meteora, Greece, with emphasis on two inaccessible huge rocks in the Meteora site: the rock of St. Modestos, known as Modi, and the Alyssos rock.

The content as well as the interactive services of the 5dMeteora platform are differentiated based on the scientific specialty and the field of interest of its users, serving their different requirements, based on properly structured scenarios of use, i.e., (i) tourists / simple users; (ii) geospatial engineers; (iii) archaeologists / architects / conservators; (iv) historians / philologists / theologians / priests; (v) educators; (vi) business entrepreneurs; and (vi) cultural heritage authorities. The 5dMeteora platform integrates an administrator interface for creating, updating and maintaining the functionalities of 3DHOP and customizing information based on the scientific specialty and field of interest of the users, offering automation in authoring, managing, uploading and updating 2D and 3D content and creating clickable points of interest on top of the surfaces of 3D models.},
