3D digitisation allows us to create accurate virtual reconstructions of historical sites. In this workshop, Catherine Cassidy (University of St Andrews) and Daniel Pletinckx (Visual Dimension) will demonstrate how you can use virtual worlds as interactive storytelling tools. They will discuss ways of bringing sites and museum objects to life while setting a story and the 3D reconstruction in its wider historical context.
During the workshop you will have opportunities for questions and will be guided through exercises focussing on how you can use 3D for storytelling.
My background is in Archaeology and Museums with experience of digital libraries, digital preservation and the online cultural heritage. I am currently operations manager for CARARE and have been involved in projects developing content for Europeana (CARARE, LoCloud and 3D-ICONS); and technologies to assist curators, researchers and users in managing and accessing information (PATHs and ARIADNE research infrastructure). One of the authors of the CARARE metadata model, I work regularly with people who use this and EDM. My previous experience includes working at the UK's Parliamentary Archives, the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council, Historic England and the Archaeology Data Service.
