| Description | This demo presents a virtual environment for assembling archaeological artefacts from 3D scanned fragments. We have implemented a set of interaction techniques tailored to this specific task, allowing users to examine, manipulate and assemble fragments to obtain the original shape of the object. The tool is developed and continuously tested by domain experts from the field of anthropology. The presented pilot user study confirms our initial expectation that the restoration process using a virtual environments can be significantly faster than restoration done in a desktop environment keeping the same level of assembly precision. |
