e-Heritage Projects in Italy, Cambodia, and Japan: Lesson learned

The e-Heritage project converts assets that form our cultural heritage into digital forms so that we can utilize such forms:

  • For preservation in digital form of our irreplaceable treasures for future generations,
  • For planning and physical restoration using the digital forms as basic models from which we can manipulate data,
  • For archaeological investigation through computer analysis of the digital forms, and
  • For education and promotion through multimedia contents based on the digital data.

This talk briefly overviews our e-Heritage projects in Italy, Cambodia, and Japan, and explains what were issues, how to overcome, and what are future problems.
