A cloud computing platform for 3d digitisation, documentation, conservation and dissemination of cultural heritage, and 3d reconstruction.
Information and communication technologies offer to the cultural world new possibilities for exchanging, creating, educating and sharing knowledge, thereby considerably widening access to culture and heritage. CULTURE 3D CLOUDS is part of an approach that aims to create a technical breakthrough in the field of digitisation of heritage artefacts to enable new viable economic models to emerge. CULTURE 3D CLOUDS is a cloud computing platform for the 3D digitisation, documentation, conservation and dissemination of cultural heritage. The field of 3D digitisation of heritage artefacts is slowly evolving and provides resources only to researchers and specialists. The technology and equipment used for 3D digitisation are sophisticated and require highly specialised skills. The cost is high and restricts widespread use. The CULTURE 3D CLOUDS project aims to put capture back into the hands of photographers and distribution into the hands of agencies and image banks, which will develop a value chain to market 3D reproductions on demand, for their customers, and to extend the market to the heritage enhancement professions (commercial, publishers, broadcasters, general public).
