Dear All,
Following UCL’s very successful conference on 3D Colour Laser Scanning
in March 2008 we are planning a 2-day workshop exploring the life-cycle
of a digital object. The workshop is funded by JISC through the Arts and
Humanities e-Science Support Centre (AHeSSC).
Who is invited?
The workshop is aimed at anyone interested in user engagement with 3D
objects. It will help researchers and professionals better understand
how to use 3D objects and related digital data records. It will be
particularly relevant for conservators, curators and educators wanting
to use 3D or 2D records of museum artefacts and for Arts and Humanities
researchers interested in this field.
What will be covered?
3rd September. The first day will offer opportunities for small group
guided tours of relevant UCL facilities. Delegates will have the
opportunity to discuss practical applications of the technologies with
existing users:
Arius3D colour laser scanner
CAVE Virtual Environment
UCL Interaction Centre (UCLIC): a centre of excellence in human-computer
interaction
Slade School of Fine Art: use of a hand held scanner in art classes
Digital Petrie Exhibition (in the making)
Digital Manufacturing centre, Bartlett School of Architecture
The day concludes with a wine reception.
4th September The second day will feature talks and presentations on a
range of topics, including 3D colour laser scanning and standards, 3D
objects in virtual environments, 3D colour printing, the life cycle of
an object and digital repatriation. More information:
