    3D for Studying Reuse in 19th Century Cairo: the Case of Saint-Maurice Residence
    (The Eurographics Association, 2021) Baillet, Vincent; Mora, Pascal; Cou, Corentin; Tournon-Valiente, Sarah; Volait, Mercedes; Granier, Xavier; Pacanowski, Romain; Guennebaud, Gaƫl; Hulusic, Vedad and Chalmers, Alan
    3D restitution is now a well-known tool to validate hypotheses on historical buildings that do not exist anymore. The present project takes the method a step further in order to explore the art historical topic of ornament reuse in 19th century revival architecture, particularly in Cairo. The case study is the Saint-Maurice residence, built 1875-79, for which an extensive collection of documents in varied formats, and from multiple locations and disciplines, has been conducted. The paper presents some preliminary results on the 3D restitution, the remaining open questions and the challenges they raise.

    3D Sound for Digital Cultural Heritage
    (The Eurographics Association, 2021) Musanovic, Adnan; Mijatovic, Bojan; Rizvic, Selma; Hulusic, Vedad and Chalmers, Alan
    Virtual Reality enables the users to experience cultural heritage. Time travel through past times is transferring us in virtual environments with 3D reconstructions of cultural monuments inhabited by historical characters. The full immersion in this different reality can be achieved only with proper spatialization of sound. In this paper we discuss the related work in 3D sound implementation for digital cultural heritage applications and compare it with our experiences.

    Virtual Dance Museum: the Case of Greek/Cypriot Folk Dancing
    (The Eurographics Association, 2021) Aristidou, Andreas; Andreou, Nefeli; Charalambous, Loukas; Yiannakidis, Anastasios; Chrysanthou, Yiorgos; Hulusic, Vedad and Chalmers, Alan
    In this paper, we have designed and developed a virtual dance museum to provide the technological tools that allow for widely educating the public, most specifically the youngest generations, about the story, costumes, music, and history of our dances. The holistic documentation of our intangible cultural heritage creations is a critical necessity for the preservation and the continuity of our identity as Europeans. In that direction, we have employed a specially designed relational database schema that holistically structures the information within the database, and is ideal for archiving, presenting, further analyzing, and re-using dance motion data. Data have been retargeted to a virtual character, dressed with traditional uniform and simulated to achieve realism. The users can view and interact with the archived data using advanced 3D character visualization in three ways: via an online 3D virtual environment; in virtual reality using headset; and in augmented reality, where the 3D characters can co-inhabit the real world. Our museum is publicly accessible, and also enables motion data reusability, facilitating dance learning applications through gamification.
