engResources that explore the use of virtual environments and 3D modeling in cultural heritage, including reconstructions, immersive experiences, and digital replicas of sites and artifacts.
This detailed 3D model of the Ma’agan Michael ship was inspired on what we know from the archaeological record. There are two scholarly reconstructions of this hull. We based our model on the Jay Rosloff set of lines mainly for aesthetic reasons. Even though Henry Winters and Yaacov Kahanov produced a second set of lines, later and with more data, we decided to develop our model from Jay Rosloff’s drawings because they look more in tune with the iconography available for vessels of this period. There are several versions available in different formats.
This detailed 3D model of a late Classical ship was inspired of what we know from the archaeological record. There are several versions of this reconstructed vessel, available in different formats. The present model was developed based on J. Richard Steffy's drawings, with kind permission of Susan Katzev.
3D model of a frontal bone of a male adult skeletal individual from the KR-N1 necropolis (Dhofar, Oman); current location: Museum of Frankincense Land of Salalah (inv. IQM18B.US124.HB1). The 3D model has been realised applying the 3D photogrammetric reconstruction, using the software Agisoft Metashape Professional 1.7. Credits: Matteo Vangeli (modeling); Gabriele Gattiglia, Filippo Sala (digital supervision); Silvia Lischi (archaeological supervision).
3D model of permanent first upper left incisor of an adult skeletal individual from the KR-N1 necropolis (Dhofar, Oman); current location: Museum of Frankincense Land of Salalah (inv. IQM18B.US124.HB3). The 3D model has been realised applying the 3D photogrammetric reconstruction, using the software Agisoft Metashape Professional 1.7.

3D model of calcific lymph node of a skeletal individual from the KR-N1 necropolis (Dhofar, Oman); current location: Museum of Frankincense Land of Salalah (inv. IQM18B.US124.HB51). The 3D model has been realised applying the 3D photogrammetric reconstruction, using the software Agisoft Metashape Professional 1.7.

This is a detailed 3D model of a Classical boat loosely based on the Athenian Trireme Olympias, inspired on what we know from the archaeological record. It was developed combining several sources on this subject, mainly geometric plans and other drawings published by Morrison, J.; Coates J. and Rankov, N. More (2000, Cambridge University Press, 319 pages). Details can be found in the download page and the metadata of the files.
3D model of amphora Kamares style (Middle Minoan period, 1950-1700 b.C.), from the Palace of Phaistos (Crete) (inv. F347); current location: Archaeological Museum of Herakleion (inv. HM10551). The simplified Virtual Model has been conceived for gaming and realized by Rhinoceros 7.0, starting from the rotation of a 2D profile of the amphora and adding the nautilus and double spiral decoration vectorialized from a photograph of the original. Credits: Graziana D’Agostino (modeling); Francesca Buscemi, Marianna Figuera (archaeological supervision).
3D model of a right clavicle of a sub-adult skeletal individual from the KR-N1 necropolis (Dhofar, Oman); current location: Museum of Frankincense Land of Salalah (inv. IQM18B.US124.HB51). The 3D model has been realised applying the 3D photogrammetric reconstruction, using the software Agisoft Metashape Professional 1.7. Credits: Matteo Vangeli (modeling); Gabriele Gattiglia, Filippo Sala (digital supervision); Silvia Lischi (archaeological supervision).
3D model of a pendant shaped like an oinochoe before restoration (inv. T27 C.V.71); current location Archaeological Museum of Ascoli Piceno (Marche, Italy). The lowpoly virtual model has been generated from a highpoly version realized by Agisoft Metashape. The geometry was processed in Meshlab, texture baking (diffuse and normal maps) was carried out in Blender.

3DHOP (3D Heritage Online Presenter) is an open-source framework for the creation of interactive Web presentations of high-resolution 3D models, oriented to the Cultural Heritage field. 3DHOP target audience ranges from the museum curators with some IT experience to the experienced Web designers who want to embed 3D contents in their creations, from students in the CH field to small companies developing web applications for museum and CH institutions.
3DHOP allows the creation of interactive visualization of 3D models directly inside a standard web page, just by adding some HTML and JavaScript components in the web page source code. The 3D scene and the user interaction can be easily configured using a simple "declarative programming" approach. By using a multi-resolution 3D model management 3DHOP is able to work with high-resolution 3D models (hundreds millions of triangles/points) with ease, also on low-bandwidth. 3DHOP does not need a specialized server, nor server-side computation: simply some space on a web server, and does work directly inside modern web browsers, no plug-ins or additional components are necessary.
La guida interattiva #SegniArcheologia presenta 6 aree di interesse dislocate nel centro storico di Segni e lungo il tratto delle mura della città: Area del Foro, Area del Museo, Area di Via Lauri, Area dell' Acropoli, Area di Porta Saracena, Area del Ninfeo. Ogni area di interessa presenta svariati panorami 360° da esplorare interattivamente su pc o mobile.
