Introducing VISTA: VIsualisation STandards in Archaeology
(Apologies for Cross Posting!)
This new mailbase discussion list is devoted to three dimensional
visualisation, reconstruction and presentation standards in Archaeology
and the Humanities.
As digital technology advances, landscape, monument, and artefact
reconstruction and visualisation techniques allow for more and more
sophisticated forms of representation. Unlike other types of
reconstruction, (for example, pottery, fresco or even drawing) there are
no agreed strategies for immediately allowing the viewer to discern what
parts
of a digital representation are founded on metric data, how reliable or
complete that data is, and which parts of a presentation are
speculative. The object of this list is to allow academics, researchers,
and other interested parties to discuss the feasibility, suitability,
and nature of any form of standards or conventions.
VISTA can be accessed at
