In their latest article published in the American Journal of Archaeology, Danilo Marco Campanaro and Giacomo Landeschi introduce a novel methodology that merges virtual reality-based eye-tracking with geographic information systems. Their research investigates how visual perception within Roman houses, specifically in Pompeii's House of the Greek Epigrams, was likely manipulated through architectural design, movement, and lighting to shape social identity. This innovative study challenges the limitations of traditional archaeological methods, offering a new perspective on how space and perception were deliberately engineered in Roman domestic environments.
