3D Reconstruction of Cultural Heritage Sites as an Educational Approach. The Sanctuary of Delphi

Abstract

In the field of cultural heritage, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of monuments is a usual activity for many professionals. The aim in this paper focuses on the new technology educational application combining science, history, and archaeology. Being involved in almost all stages of implementation steps and assessing the level of participation, university students use tools of computer gaming platform and participate in ways of planning the virtual environment which improves their education through e-Learning. The virtual 3D environment is made with different imaging methods (helium-filled balloon, Structure for motion, 3D repository models) and a developmental plan has been designed for use in many future applications. Digital tools were used with 3D reconstructed buildings from the museum archive to Unity 3D for the design. The pilot study of Information Technology work has been employed to introduce cultural heritage and archaeology to university syllabuses. It included students with a questionnaire which has been evaluated accordingly. As a result, the university students were inspired to immerse themselves into the virtual lab, aiming to increasing the level of interaction. The results show a satisfactory learning outcome by an easy to use and real 3D environment, a step forward to fill in needs of contemporary online sustainable learning demands.

Technology of Digital Art for Adapting Ancient Visual Art Designs

“…In this technique, digital art technologies and methodologies are employed to create data and record it. This illustrates that the usage of the 3D model was beneficial, but their active engagement in the design and evaluation of the project adds value to their learning outcomes and hands-on growth of multidisciplinary works, which is very important in our high-tech day [16] to create digital information, creations using such digital methods are more popular in museum works that use a more modern approach to presenting art and antiques in digital information. Because it is possible to construct an exact copy of a digital work, a museum's traditional concept of exclusive ownership over a material "original" must evolve.…”

Heritage Education and Research in Museums. Conceptual, Intellectual and Social Structure within a Knowledge Domain (2000–2019)

“…Recent papers about the dissemination of scientific knowledge in archaeological museums have shown this approach [68]. Therefore, the proposals for the interdisciplinary treatment of knowledge [69], the rise of computational thinking [70] and the role of new technologies in improving the museum experience, such as the reconstruction of cultural heritage through the use of 3D, augmented reality, or recreation in virtual museums have improved the research in this field of knowledge [71][72][73][74].…”

Semi-Automatic 3D Reconstruction of Atheroma Plaques from Intravascular Ultrasound Images Using an ad-hoc Algorithm

“…The 3-D reconstruction has been applied in several fields and using different software techniques. For example, it has been used in the domain of architecture [14], in civil engineering [15], for the reconstruction of geographic data and aerial imagery [16] and handling occlusions in augmented reality in [17].…”
