Through CITRIS and collaboration between UC Merced and UC Berkeley, scientists are developing a prototype collaborative application for archaeology that allows archeologists from remote locations to interact in real time with 3D archeological models through a shared virtual environment using tele-immersive technology. At each location, a set of stereo cameras captures 3D video of the user in real time to create his/her avatar. The 3D data is sent over the network to the remote location where it is integrated and rendered in the shared virtual environment. The tele-immersive aspect of this work provides a novel approach to interaction and interpretation of 3D archeological models by facilitating an immersive experience in a collaborative setting of remote users. The framework will facilitate the study and analysis of a virtual reconstruction process in archaeology with the help of a virtual community to re-contextualize and reassemble spatial archaeological data.
