3D vi­su­al­i­sa­tion tech­nolo­gies en­able and ad­vance the preser­va­tion of and re­search on all kinds of cul­tural her­itage. Mod­el­ing, vi­su­al­is­ing and an­i­mat­ing cul­tur­ally im­por­tant ob­jects or sites via 3D tech­nolo­gies allow re­searchers a more de­tailed and high-res­o­lu­tion view on their re­search ma­te­r­ial.

Our spring school will bring to­gether 20 in­ter­na­tional stu­dents who are in­ter­ested in learn­ing how to model 3D ob­jects, how to man­age 3D data, and how to cre­ate vir­tual worlds in 3D. You will be ac­quainted with the mod­el­ing of 3D ob­jects using Blender, the 3D re­con­struc­tion with Vi­su­alSFM and Mesh­Lab, and the cre­ation of 3D vir­tual worlds using Unity 3D. In the morn­ing ses­sions you will be taught the­ory and es­sen­tial knowl­edge about pho­togram­me­try, mesh­ing, etc. In the af­ter­noon, you will deepen and broaden this knowl­edge in in­struc­tor-led labs where you will apply the meth­ods you have been ac­quainted with.

The work­shops will be led by Jo­hanna Pirker and Phil Gosch who al­ready ran the 3D strand of the DARIAH Sum­mer School 2014.
