Virtual Heritage
A lot is going on on the Virtual Heritage scene...
Virtual Heritage Network [VHN], is a new international organisation designed to promote the utilisation of technology for the education, interpretation, conservation and preservation of Natural, Cultural and World Heritage. The network is a physical and electronic network of people and resources in many countries currently working in the virtual heritage community. This organization has been formed through the many ideas from people working in the heritage and technology industry recognising that it is fragmented, and difficult to find other researchers and information.
At the Annual Conference on Virtual Systems and MultiMedia 'Virtual Hertage' is a category all by itself. The conference moves around every year (last year it was in Belgium):
'This year will showcase the most innovative work in the field, including new imaging and modeling techniques, large scale terrain modeling, geo-temporal 3D databases, remote sensing and GIS for culture, laser scanning and data capture, object and image restoration and modeling, virtual reality for museums, kiosks and site explanations. Papers accepted will cover a range from technical tools and techniques, to actual site environments that use new techniques for historical reenactment, storytelling or site reconstruction. Heritage, museum, and cultural officials working with technology are encouraged to submit case studies.'
Maybe we should enter Virtually DUMBO for the 2006 conference in China...?
