Cultural and Natural Heritage

The Cultural and Natural Heritage (heritage) Working Group is exploring the generation, handling, and display of digital 3D data for cultural and natural heritage.

The Cultural and Natural Heritage (heritage) working group is focused on the development of examples, best practices and new techniques to capture, archive and distribute 3D representations of cultural and natural (biological) objects.  This includes work by institutions and individuals seeking to model, preserve and communicate the visual and informational aspects of 3D objects holding historical and intellectual interest.

Working Group Resources

This working group is open for public participation on the heritage@web3D.org mailing list (subscribe, message archive).

TODO. Although much related activity is occurring, we need to rejuvenate leadership and membership of this group for better effectiveness.
