(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, frescoe 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 acdemics,
researchers, and other interested parties to discuss the feasability,
suitability, and nature of any form of standards or conventions.
VISTA can be accessed at http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/vista/
