    Digital exhibition as a bridge to the real collection
    (The Eurographics Association, 2013) Miyamae, Chisako; -
    Three-dimensional (3D) measurement techniques are essential in digital archives of cultural heritage, and museums currently use various digital media content as interpretations of collections. Therefore, the author has proposed a framework that can use a single source of reliable acquired 3D data for various purposes. The author made 3D measurements of artefacts from a collection in Tokyo National Museum and then reproduced these artefacts using data acquired in accordance with the framework. A digital exhibition using two different types of the reproductions was held at the museum, along with an exhibition of the real artefact. This digital exhibition demonstrated a performance using a virtual reality image manipulated by a human navigator combined with a hands-on experience of handling a replica. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of the project and the reproductions made from the acquired 3D data.

    The Niobid Project: Digital Modeling and Restoration of a Complex Sculptural Group at Hadrian's Villa
    (The Eurographics Association, 2013) Frischer, Bernard; Brennan, Matthew; -
    In Greek myth, Niobe was the queen of Thebes who displayed arrogance toward the goddess Leto and was punished by having to endure the death of her seven sons and seven daughters at the hands of Leto's children, Artemis and Apollo. A fourth-century BC group of 16 statues (Niobe, the fourteen children, and a male figure known as the Pedagogue) survives in various Roman copies from various imperial and public contexts. Here we report on a project to digitally scan and restore the statues, putting them back into the ancient context where they were displayed at Hadrian's Villa.
