Preserving the past for the future generations of Australians
Research and Development: 3D Reconstruction of Archaeological ExcavationsWe are also developing software tools to manage, analyse and
visualise
datasets held in this collection (figure 1), using the Google Maps
technology to provide an efficient way to explore geographical data in
real-time at different scales in two-dimensions. The reconstruction
tool, although at an early stage, provides a way to visualise data in
3D at a smaller scale. The challenge remains to integrate these two
visualisation tools with the digital collection and the implementation
of a user-friendly interface.

Once the user has made the query, an X3D file is generated and the
visualisation is displayed on a web browser.
