Heritage in the Digital Era

Technological developments are hugely impacting the work of restoring, renovating, protecting, documenting and archiving our cultural heritage. This collection of peer-reviewed papers explores the theme of cultural heritage and technology in relation to data-capture, digitization, architectural computing, reconstruction, modelling, information data-processing, virtual reality applications, standardization, data visualization and archiving. This exploration of the possibilities of digital preservation makes this book a valuable resource for the cultural heritage community. CONTENTS
