“…Recent advances in graphics hardware and processing power in consumer hardware has enabled a broad use of actual scientific data in applications aimed for science communication for the public at science centers and elsewhere. One such story is presented by Ynnerman et al [62]. The ability of providing the same data as scientists have used in their explorations to the layman user is currently a major change and a paradigm shift in science communication.…”

Abstract-Results of planetary mapping are often shared openly for use in scientific research and mission planning. In its raw format, however, the data is not accessible to non-experts due to the difficulty in grasping the context and the intricate acquisition process. We present work on tailoring and integration of multiple data processing and visualization methods to interactively contextualize geospatial surface data of celestial bodies for use in science communication. As our approach handles dynamic data sources, streamed from online repositories, we are significantly shortening the time between discovery and dissemination of data and results. We describe the image acquisition pipeline, the pre-processing steps to derive a 2.5D terrain, and a chunked level-of-detail, out-of-core rendering approach to enable interactive exploration of global maps and high-resolution digital terrain models. The results are demonstrated for three different celestial bodies. The first case addresses high-resolution map data on the surface of Mars. A second case is showing dynamic processes, such as concurrent weather conditions on Earth that require temporal datasets. As a final example we use data from the New Horizons spacecraft which acquired images during a single flyby of Pluto. We visualize the acquisition process as well as the resulting surface data. Our work has been implemented in the OpenSpace software [8], which enables interactive presentations in a range of environments such as immersive dome theaters, interactive touch tables, and virtual reality headsets.

“…Introduction 3D digital data have been rapidly incorporated in archaeological and anthropological fields, and they are providing new and unlimited access to fragile and valuable remains. For instance, 3D digitisations can be used for facial reconstructions such as Robert the Bruce (Wilkinson et al 2017), the creation of interactive virtual displays such as the Gebelein Man at the British Museum (Ynnerman et al 2016), or 3D printed to reveal otherwise hidden trauma such as the Jericho skull (Hirst 2017). Additionally, 3D digitisations allow for more advanced statistical analysis of biological shapes, and the most commonly employed method in anthropology and archaeology is 3D geometric morphometrics.…”

________________________________________________________________The collection and analysis of 3D digital data is a rapidly growing field in archaeology, anthropology, and forensics. Even though the 3D scanning of human remains in archaeology has been conducted for over 10 years, it is still frequently considered as a new field. Despite this, the availability of 3D scanning equipment and the number of studies employing these methods are increasing rapidly, and it is arguably damaging to the validity of this field to continue to consider these methods new and therefore not subject to the same standardisations as other researches. This paper considers the current issues regarding the lack of standardisation in the methods, ethics, and ownership of 3D digital data with a focus on human remains research. The aim of this paper is to stimulate further research and discussion, allowing this field to develop, improving the quality and value of future research. ________________________________________________________________Résumé: La collecte et l'analyse des données numériques 3D constituent une méthode de plus en plus utilisée dans la recherche archéologique, anthropologique, médicolégale et médicale. Même si l'archéologie fait appel au balayage 3D des restes humains depuis plus de dix ans, on considère toujours qu'il s'agit d'un domaine relativement jeune. Entendu que la disponibilité de l'équipement de balayage 3D et que le nombre d'études où cette méthode est utilisée grandissent, considérer à tort que ce domaine est nouveau et omettre conséquemment de le soumettre aux mêmes normes réglementaires que d'autres recherches ne fait rien pour établir sa validité. Le présent article porte sur les problèmes actuels liés au manque de normalisation des méthodes, règles d'éthique et droits d'exclusivité des

“…For instance, resulting data can be used to create highly detailed records of museum objects (Ahmon 2004;Fontana et al 2002), as demonstrated by projects such as the Virtual Curation Laboratory (Huber 2014;Means et al 2013), as well as allowing digital preservation of fragile material (Means et al 2013;Simon et al 2009) and minimising the damage caused by repeated sampling and handling (Bowron 2003). These records can be used to create virtual exhibitions, both within museums and online (Keklikoglou et al 2016;Means et al 2013;Tucci et al 2011;Ynnerman et al 2016), which will increase public engagement and accessibility of anthropology and archaeology in an increasingly digital age.…”

________________________________________________________________The use of 3D data in the analysis of skeletal and fossil materials has conveyed numerous advantages in many fields; however, as the availability and use of 3D scanning equipment are rapidly increasing, it is important for researchers to consider whether these methods are suitable for the proposed study. The issue of suitability has been largely overlooked in previous research; for instance, casts and reconstruction methods are frequently used to increase sample sizes, without sufficient assessment of the effect, this may have on the accuracy and reliability of results. Furthermore, the reliability of geometric morphometric methods and the implications of virtual curation have not received sufficient consideration. This paper discusses the suitability of 3D research with regard to the accuracy, reliability, and accessibility of methods and materials, as well as the effects of the current learning environment. Areas where future work will progress 3D research are proposed. ________________________________________________________________Résumé: L'utilisation de données 3D dans l'analyse de matériaux squelettiques et fossiles a fourni de nombreux avantages dans plusieurs domaines, mais comme la disponibilité et l'utilisation de l'équipement de balayage 3D connaissent une montée rapide, les chercheurs doivent se demander si ces méthodes conviennent à l'étude proposée. Le problème de la convenance a été largement ignoré dans les recherches précédentes. Pour cas, des méthodes de moulage et de reconstruction sont souvent utilisées pour augmenter la taille des échantillons sans d'abord évaluer avec précision l'effet de celles-ci sur l'exactitude et la fiabilité des résultats. Qui plus est, la fiabilité des méthodes morphométriques géométriques et les répercussions de la conservation virtuelle n'ont pas fait l'objet de suffisamment d'attention. Le présent article discute de la convenance des recherches 3D relativement à l'exactitude, la fiabilité et l'accessibilité des méthodes et matériaux, ainsi que des effets de l'environnement d'apprentissage actuel. Nous y proposons des domaines où les travaux futurs feront avancer la recherche 3D. ________________________________________________________________Resumen: El uso de datos tridimensionales en el análisis de material esqueléticos y fó siles ha proporcionado numerosas ventajas en muchos campos, sin embargo, dado que la disponibilidad y el uso de equipos de escaneo en 3D está aumentando rápidamente, es importante que los investigadores consideren si estos métodos son adecuados para el estudio propuesto. En gran parte el tema de la idoneidad ha sido pasado por alto en investigaciones previas; por ejemplo, con frecuencia se utilizan moldes y métodos de reconstrucció n para aumentar el tamañ o de las muestras, sin una evaluació n suficiente del efecto que esto puede tener en la precisió n y confiabilidad de los resultados. Además, la confiabilidad de los métodos morfométricos geométricos y las implicacio...
