World Heritage Media, Workshop

InterMedia at AKSIS and UNIFOB GLOBAL are arranging a two-day workshop on World Heritage Media. During the workshop we will examine issues of content, access and funding related to making digitized cultural heritage information obtainable over the Internet available to teachers, students, tourists, politicians and researchers via smart phones and similar handheld technologies.

What has motivated us to organize this workshop is recent progress on launching the «Digital Archaeological Atlas of the Holy Land (DAAHL)», a project developed by Thomas Levy and Stephen Savage as part of the new Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture and Archaeology (CISA3) at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) and the Geo-Archaeological Information Applications Lab at Arizona State University. «The DAAHL project developers» are collaborating with the Norwegian Research Council funded Global Moments in the Levant Project (http://globalmoments.uib.no). To highlight the research results of this University of Bergen project for both the scholarly and public community, DAAHL (http://gaialab.asu.edu/DAAHL) is being developed to provide teachers, students, scholars, travel consultants, tourists and the general public with continually updated, state-of-the-art information about archaeological sites, virtual tours and voice-over narrations by archaeologists and other experts relating the latest discoveries at major and not-so major archaeological and historical sites located in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria (i.e. the Holy Land or the Levant). It will also provide interested students and scholars with access to pertinent interactive maps, site plans, photos, 3-D virtual object animations, drawings, and text descriptions.

Issues of content to be explored at the May workshop include the DAAHL's utilization of Google Maps and Google Earth; population of the DAAHL database; virtual tours; drill-down features; and 3-D virtual object animations. Issues of access will focus on the technical challenges of making such content available to smart phone users.

Det er Windows XP på PCene og MS Office 2003 Professional.
I auditoriene er det mulighet for både trådløst og kablet nettverk.
