The touchscreen version of COMPASS, the British Museum's collections online, in the Museum's Reading Room, currently has two 3D reconstructions: one of an ancient Egyptian tomb chapel (the tomb of Nebamun) showing the the various fragments of wall painting now in the Museum. The other is a reconstruction of a building on a Roman villa estate at Meonstoke in Hampshire. Another that is in the pipeline is a 3D reconstruction of a medieval astrolabe, showing the science behind the instrument and how it can be used to tell the time.

Do get in touch for more information,

I am enquiring as to whether anybody knows of any 3D reconstructed IT
displays in a museum environment. At present I am planning to focus my
dissertation on visitors experience of IT displays and require another case
study. One of the displays I am interested in shows a site and its
use/disuse over time and the other has a 3D reconstruction of a site and
provides choices of narrative.

I would be extremely grateful if you could get in contact with me, either
by email, [log in to unmask] or by telephone, 07855 466785.

Many thanks
