Hello all, and apologies if you've received this twice. Well it seems that rumours of my departure to sunnier climes were a little premature, as I am still in not-so-sunny Putney, patiently awaiting the ponderous machinations of the US immigration department for my visa. In the meantime, I am doing some preliminary research into the 3-D presentation technologies available for use in cultural heritage web representations. I know that there are a number of UK museums and other bodies who have, or are currently acquiring, knowledge and expertise in this area (the Natural History Museum/SICMA project and some participants in the JIDI (JISC Image Digitisation Initiative) for example. I'd be very interested to hear about these and other projects in this area, so that I can get a quick overview of the current 'state of the art', and can compile a list of contacts to approach for a more in-depth and structured survey. If you know of any relevant projects, I'd be very grateful for any information you could provide, and in return, will post a brief summary of the work currently underway in UK museums to the mcg list. Cheers, T. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Gill, Consultant E-mail: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
