Con lo sviluppo della tecnologia, la chimera di unificare in un'unica sala polifunzionale diversi edifici destinati a eventi che spaziano da conferenze a concerti di musica classica, che presentano requisiti acustici molto diversi tra loro, diventa sempre più realizzabile, rendendo questo tipo di architettura sempre più comune. Con l'aiuto di sensori e connettività Internet of Things (IoT) e sfruttando le tecnologie di gemelli digitali (DT) e processi di Building Information Modeling (BIM), un contesto in cui un operatore umano può visualizzare, modificare ed effettuare da remoto simulazioni acustiche in realtà virtuale di uno spazio multifunzionale non è più così irrealistico. Il presente lavoro costituisce un primo passo in questo scenario sviluppando un'interfaccia software in grado di collegare la macchina scenica di un teatro con un modello 3D della sua sala, consentendo al modello digitale di aggiornarsi in base ai dati in tempo reale sulla configurazione corrente degli elementi mobili della sala e permettendo all'utente di visualizzare di conseguenza le informazioni acustiche (in particolare, il tempo di riverbero). La tesi si concentra sull'applicazione pratica di questa interfaccia al Teatro Roberto de Silva di Rho, Milano, ma è pensata per essere adattabile a diversi software di controllo scenico e per essere estesa al complesso sistema descritto in precedenza.

Abstract
As technology develops, the pipe dream of unifying different buildings meant for events ranging from conferences to classical music concerts, which present very diverse acoustic requirements, in a single, multipurpose hall becomes more and more achievable, making this kind of architecture more and more common. With the help of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and connectivity, and taking advantage of Digital Twin (DT) technologies and Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes, a context where a human operator can remotely view, modify, and perform acoustic simulations in a Virtual Reality (VT) version of a multifunctional space is not so unrealistic anymore. The present work constitutes a first step into this scenario by developing a software interface able to bridge a theater's facility management system with a 3D model of its hall, letting the digital model update, based on real-time data about the current configuration of the hall's movable elements, and letting the user visualize acoustic information (specifically, the reverberation time) accordingly. The thesis focuses on the practical application of this interface at the Roberto de Silva Theater in Rho, Milan, but is intended to be adjustable for different stage control software, and to be extended to the complex system previously described.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
