The ORION Consortium A partnership of 12 leading archaeological museums and technical institutions from 7 EU countries: National Museums of Scotland Athens Technology Centre Neanderthal Museum Universidad Politecnica de Madrid National Museum of Ireland University of Florence Centre Archéologique Européen The Multimedia Team du Mont Beuvray GFaI (Division 3D Data Archaeological Laboratories of Dion Processing) Museo Arqueológico Provincial de Alicante INTRACOM Luxembourg Seminar – 28th January 2003

  4. Current Practice & Approaches Workshops [>100 Participants]in all ORION countries & at International EVAs Questionnaire Survey~65 ArchaeologyMuseums Supporting Research Literature,Interviews, Web Research etc Luxembourg Seminar – 28th January 2003

  5. Current IT Practices & Needs Some Highlights I. Luxembourg Seminar – 28th January 2003

  6. Current Practices & Needs Some Highlights II. • 3D has an important or very important role to play in presenting archaeology to the public and in the study of material culture ~65% of archaeology museums surveyed [& ~80% of experts consulted] • ~35% of museums consulted have already used 3D in some form • ~45% of museums consulted have 3D in their future strategies • N.B. There is significant country variation with Germany in the lead Luxembourg Seminar – 28th January 2003

  7. Positive & Negative Factors for 3D in Archaeology Museums - + Perceived costs [65%] Lack of appropriate knowledge of 3D Conservatism Lack of awareness of commercial benefits Confusion between ‘Accessibility & ‘Dumbing down’ Fear of obsolescence Falling costs as technology develops & experience grows A number of role models [Centres of Excellence could help] Increasing public familiarity with 3D e.g. Games & TV Influence of other fields e.g. - Medical - Tourism & Industry University, Research Institute & Company Interest in helping museums Luxembourg Seminar – 28th January 2003

  8. Priorities Consensus on Top Priority: To Create Better Public Access to Museum Collections • Other Priorities include: • Academic Research • Documentation & Security • Restoration & Conservation • Physical Replica Production & Sales • General Marketing NB The creation of 3D Digital Libraries is a sine qua non Luxembourg Seminar – 28th January 2003

  9. Role Models Already ExistCited by Museums Surveyed II. Greece - Byzantine Museum of Athens - Louvre – medieval department - 3D reconstruction of the sanctuary of Isis at Dion - Archaeoguide [on-site guides using augmented reality [at ancient Olympia] - British Museum - Boden Museum, Berlin [SPMK] - Metropolitan Museum, New York - CD-ROM of Cultural Map of Rome, monuments’ virtual reconstruction Luxembourg Seminar – 28th January 2003
