*Rethinking 3D visualisation: from illustration to research tool*
The use of 3D visualisation is becoming increasingly popular in the
study of the Ancient World. However, 3D images are often merely used as
eye-catching illustrations, their value reduced to aesthetic
pleasantness or technological lure. This seminar will start by showing,
through examples and case studies, the importance of spatial information
(such as location, dimension, geometry) in the understanding of ancient
places and artefacts. Then, it will discusses how 3D visualisation can
be used as a powerful tool to represent and investigate this kind of
information, enhancing—and sometimes challenging—our approaches to
tangible and intangible ancient cultural heritage.
