The Potteries Museum & Art gallery is part of a European IST project working
with 7 other museums and a technology company. The company are developing an
interface to allow users to interrogate 3D photorealistic objects (like QTVR)
from museum collections. Users can explore other visual and contextual
information abut the object, relationships with related material, physical
qualities etc. I have passed your enquiry onto Mary Durose the Project Manager
who can be contacted on 01782 799737 or [log in to unmask]
Hope this helps.

>As part of the East of England Sense of Place - Essex project, We will be
>developing a virtual object handling module (with a fairly low number of
>objects to choose from), which will allow the user to explore and
>intterrogate an object in order to find out more about it. (how was it
>made? Is it dense? What does this indicate? etc...)
>
>Getting people to produce a virtual environment (eg QT VR) is not
>necessarily the problem, and we have our own Education team who can assist
>in the brief of this particular module. Its the bit in between that is
>causing problems.
>
>It would be useful to find out if there are organisations that can provide
>assistance which have a familiarity with the subject and know a bit about
>developing education resources (not necessarily a web designer, perhaps
>somebody a bit more specialised than that).
>
>Anyway, people's thoughts would be helpful?
