Abstract

In the current work we present a state of the art of natural and cultural heritage, as well as tourism, from the perspective of the user of interactive and analogical systems in Southern Europe. We also present the evolution of several multimedia local projects in the Mediterranean with a successful interactive design for the internationalization of those contents which are succumbing to the technological breakthroughs because of worldwide economic factors and human factors of software engineering. Finally, we publicize a series of guidelines so that the emerging societies can bridge the digital gap with the high-technology societies.
