The team is working to develop a system that integrates a high-fidelity immersive virtual environment based on ground-truth 3D scanning data from archaeological sites augmented with ethnohistoric data in the form of archival records, photos, models of artifacts, prior publications and reports, etc. for
in virtuo analysis of corroborating evidence and the results of fieldwork. This is a large-scale research program with many projects within. The team continues to move forward with different aspects of the vision laid out in the Immersive Archaeology whitepaper. One aspect of the immersive archaeology idea that we are actively working on is the sharing of dig sites and the artifacts/finds within via online, multi-user virtual reality. A demonstration is available below.
