The prototype illustrates the use 3D Virtual Worlds and Artificial Intelligence in the domain of Cultural Heritage.The aim of the project is to recreate the ancient city of Uruk from the period around 3000 B.C. in the Virtual World of Second Life letting history students experience how it looked like and how its citizens behaved in the past. The prototype currently features 4 autonomous agents re-enacting the daily life cycle of 2 fisherman families. The recreation of the city and agent behaviors are being modeled under supervision of subject matter experts and based on the results of archaeological excavations and available historical data.

An exploration of how digital 3D visualisation can be used in archaeological site work. truly breathtaking! Credits: experiment of visualization in archaeology, the 3D model was realized using computer vision, meshlab and 3Dstudio Max, the model was visualized in full scale through a cave sistem authors: Nicolo' Dell'Unto and Mattias Wallergård researchers at the Department of design sciences, Lund University

A few years back I was asked to reconstruct a face based on a skull found in York. using Photomodeller and a lot of research and hard work - this was the result. First the photographs of the skull were modelled in 3D with hundreds of points, then the thickness of soft tissue added - finally a 'skin' was stretched over the model and hair added. It was truely exciting to meet her face to face after nearly 2000 years.
