Kevin L. Callahan
Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Anthropology - Reconstructing the past with digital technology.
The purpose of archaeology is to "reconstruct the past" and to present the results of often complex and scholarly research in an understandable way to both specialists and the general public. 3D computer animation and electronic art has become increasingly well established within the discipline of archaeology as the "state of the art" means to display research results in an immediately accessible and visual way. I will be showing a videotape of several of my 3D computer models and flyover animations of reconstructions of famous archaeological sites to demonstrate one important use of this new digital media.
