Because it appeals to a wide audience, the cultural sector can supply several compelling forms of digital content suited for a diverse spectrum of uses, ranging from learning and entertainment to study of art history and cultural documentation. For this reason, the development of culture-related IT products and services has been the focus of a large number of efforts worldwide, originating both from companies and Government agencies. This is particularly true in Europe because of its immense repository of artistic treasures. One of the most effective media for visual representation of complex cultural artefacts is that of high-quality 3D graphical models.
3D models for cultural heritage applications constitute a new and exciting way for the general public to experience and appreciate culture and art. Apart from new means of presentation and access, such 3D models enable the development of novel paradigms in cultural heritage exploration and preservation. This workshop will provide an international forum for discussing recent advances in the area of 3D modeling and visualisation technologies for Cultural Heritage, aiming at bringing together international stakeholders from cultural institutions and museums, university and research organisations. We also welcome project coordinators and partners of recent and current EC co-funded project active in relevant sectors and invite them to disseminate the results achieved as well as to describe on-going research activities. The workshop is organised in conjunction with EVA London 2007 and the EC co-funded project RECOVER. This workshop is the latest in the series of exciting workshops on 3D technologies for Cultural Heritage organised for many years by EVA.
* To present high level research in the areas of 3D digitisation, modeling, visualization, etc
* To share practical experiences concerning the acquisition and use of 3D models,
* To show results of past and currently active projects which demonstrate the benefits of 3D modeling and visualization for Cultural Heritage applications,
* To attract managers and directors of cultural institutions and museums to demonstrate the potential of innovative techniques for 3D visualization in Cultural Heritage applications.
