VAST 2010: 11th Symposium on Virtual reality Archaeology and Cultural Heritage

Ecole de Louvre, Palais du Louvre, Paris, September 21st-24th 2010


Science Technology & Museums: A Challenge for the New Decade.

In the 21st century the use of digital technology is a common practice in every day of our lives, contributing to the development, management and delivery of the information that surrounds our environment. Archaeologists and Cultural Heritage scientists as well as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) experts have in the past collaborated to find solutions to optimise all aspects of managing and delivering cultural information to new generations, but there remain many unsolved problems.

The goal of this VAST will be to build on the open dialogue between these different areas of expertise, and in particular allow ICT experts to have a better understanding of the critical requirements of the CH scientists for managing and delivering cultural information. The result of this interaction will be disseminated through use of innovative digital techniques in research and education for Cultural Heritage and throough publications: on-going project results; preliminary ideas and works in progress; and overviews of research in the use of digital technology in the context of Cultural Heritage.

We are seeking contributions that advance the state of the art in the technologies available to support cultural heritage. In particular:

•2/3/4D data capture and processing in Cultural Heritage
•Augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations
•Data acquisition technologies
•Digital Libraries
•Digital capture and annotation of intangible heritage (performance, audio, dance, oral)
•Interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage
•Long term preservation of digital artefacts
•Metadata, classification schema, ontologies and semantic processing
•Multilingual applications, tools and systems for Cultural Heritage
•Multimedia data acquisition, management and archiving
•Multi-modal interfaces and rendering for Cultural Heritage
•On-site and remotely sensed data collection
•Professional and ethical guidelines
•Serious games in Cultural Heritage
•Standards and documentation
•Storytelling and design of heritage communications
•Tools for education and training in Cultural Heritage
•Usability, effectiveness and interface design for Cultural Heritage Applications
•Visualization
Other relevant works concerning the application of technology to Cultural Heritage not directly included in the above categories are also welcome for submission.
