Chichén Itzá HeritageView Project

We are building the digital foundation for a next-generation heritage experience at Chichén Itzá—combining rigorous research, high-fidelity site models, character and spatial systems, operational frameworks, and sustainable revenue-share models that support conservation, education, and community benefit.

Shared architecture

One program. Distinct local implementations.

Global standards support repeatable work, while every site retains its own evidence, governance, language, cultural protocols, and operating model.

01

Research superstructure

Evidence, methods, modeling, character development, interpretation, and publication remain visible and reviewable.

02

Experiential education

Students contribute to real research, fieldwork, design, business systems, validation, and dissemination.

03

Deployment engineering

HeritageView supplies the hardware and runtime while Stella Nova develops and validates site-specific content systems.

04

Cross-site learning

Validated patterns can transfer with provenance, local adaptation, and renewed field validation preserved.
