Following UCL’s conference on 3D Colour Laser Scanning in March 2008 we are planning a 2-day workshop exploring the lifecyle 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?
3 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 Center, Bartlett School of Architecture
* The day concludes with a wine reception.
4 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.
The workshop is FREE to attend but numbers are restricted 50. Register now to confirm your place. Booking closes on 15 August 2009.
