2D reconstruction 3D / 4D modelling and reconstruction Archaeological or architectural heritage

Este proyecto tiene como objetivo proporcionar un primer punto de luz para la información de un LTM en la provincia de Castellón, basado en la aportación de datos 2D, 3D y 4D de los restos arqueológicos que se pueden encontrar en la actualidad.

La propuesta inicial se basa en los yacimientos arqueológicos más importantes de la provincia de Castellón ubicados cronológicamente en cuatro períodos históricos: Edad del Bronce, Edad del Hierro Antiguo, Cultura Ibérica, época Romano-Imperial y Edad Media.

Tiene como objetivo ofrecer una visión inicial de las diferentes civilizaciones que han pasado por estas tierras bañadas por el mar Mediterráneo.

A thousand images and a thousand words

2021-06-03

We know that this Digital Storytelling Festival competition is not especially designed for creators, but rather for users. From our point of view, we see that we need to go further in the narrative discourses we have created. Perhaps the road is still to be built, perhaps the bridges have been created but do not yet appear on the maps, or perhaps we have simply fallen into that famous dichotomy that makes us choose: “a picture is better than a thousand words”. I have always wondered why not add up and add to that picture the thousand words. Before I go on, I would like to talk about the word “technology”. Please don’t run away yet!. If there is anyone left in the room, I will tell them that technology is absolutely everything that surrounds the human being and one of its essential characteristics. The most important requirement for good technology is ease of use. The ones we present to you have a gentle learning curve and in less than 3 minutes, you usually learn to navigate through the 3D models. The good thing is that you will discover that all those worlds are in this one, but, until now, you have not been able to travel to discover them. Awakening curiosity through interaction-driven discovery. From AD&D 4D we are committed to discovering and telling you not only about the places, but also about the links of their inhabitants in the fabric of their history. So, from this small vantage point that technology gives us, we have created a tool to satiate and encourage human curiosity, you just have to get excited.

The memory of stones

2021-05-26

Through a look at rural Spain, which had its back turned to its archaeological treasures, this article reveals to internet users the coincidences that led to the discovery in 1876 of the Roman city of Lésera in Forcall, Castellón, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, Europe. The publication, adapted in 3 languages, uses cutting-edge technologies to show the current state of the site in 3D, bringing together all the findings in a single medium and displaying simple documentation by period. It also offers a virtual guided tour of the reconstruction of the fully excavated domus of the triclinium, from this 3D model we can go on to view the entire site, as well as the virtual recreation of the domus, or download the mapping of the enclaves with CC-BY-NC 4.0 licences. The material, also adapted to accessibility (card and tactile model with Braille), includes a digital print of the 3D model of the domus, ideal for blind visitors. This is an informative treasure for all audiences and ages, with various reading levels, due to the simplicity of its handling, even for people with functional diversity, which could well form part of an educational tool and a pretext for a digital cultural gymkhana.
