“…3D GIS is employed in archaeology, for instance, for urban reconstruction of ancient cities, modelling of archeological 3D objects and their attributes, managing excavations, testing reconstruction hypotheses, and analysing development of sites over time [378][379][380][381][382][383][384][385][386][387][388].…”

In the last decades, 3D city models appear to have been predominantly used for visualisation; however, today they are being increasingly employed in a number of domains and for a large range of tasks beyond visualisation. In this paper, we seek to understand and document the state of the art regarding the utilisation of 3D city models across multiple domains based on a comprehensive literature study including hundreds of research papers, technical reports and online resources. A challenge in a study such as ours is that the ways in which 3D city models are used cannot be readily listed due to fuzziness, terminological ambiguity, unclear added-value of 3D geoinformation in some instances, and absence of technical information. To address this challenge, we delineate a hierarchical terminology (spatial operations, use cases, applications), and develop a theoretical reasoning to segment and categorise the diverse uses of 3D city models. Following this framework, we provide a list of identified use cases of 3D city models (with a description of each), and their applications. Our study demonstrates that 3D city models are employed in at least 29 use cases that are a part of more than 100 applications. The classified inventory could be useful for scientists as well as stakeholders in the geospatial industry, such as companies and national mapping agencies, as it may serve as a reference document to better position their operations, design product portfolios, and to better understand the market.

“…That is the case of various solutions developed starting from the last decade leading as subsequent progression towards more advanced developments, only to mention some of the less recently developed by authors (Gaiani, 2012), e.g. Ancient Appian Way 3D Web Virtual GIS (Gaiani et al, 2001), PalladioLibrary and Andrea Palladio-3D geodatabase (AP3D) (Apollonio et al, 2013;Baldissini and Gaiani, 2014;Apollonio et al, 2015;Gaiani et al, 2015a;Beltramini and Gaiani, 2018), and Pompei 3D GIS Unified IS (Benedetti et al, 2010). Saving in time, better dissemination and sharing information were the first approach towards a more inclusive work and a change of operator's mindset, usually withdrawn into its own specific discipline.…”

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Cultural Heritage management is a topical issue facing administrators, professionals and scholars involved in documentation, restoration and enhancement of the cultural assets. In the paper, after a general framework on the state of the art in the sector, two recent experiences are reported about Information System and integrated service platform for managing Cultural Heritage that authors contributed to develop with the aim of providing experts of the field with effective and flexible tools: the Information System for the restoration of the Neptune’s Fountain and the SACHER 3D Life Cycle Management for Cultural Heritage service. The paper describes in detail the two case studies and some possible implementation designed but not yet achieved for the latter, and finally presents some starting points for future research.</p>

“…A representative example of 3D digital archive is provided by the Smithsonian foundation through the Smithsonian X3D initiative (http://3d.si.edu/), a web-based collection of artefacts, ecofacts, bones, etc., which is available for students and scientists to view at no charge. As these technologies are becoming more widely known, they are changing how professionals approach preservation, data sharing, and the communication of heritage [12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Framing the past: How virtual experience affects bodily description of artefacts

a b s t r a c tThis study uses a novel, interdisciplinary approach to investigate how people describe ancient artefacts. Here, we focus on gestures. Researchers have shown that gestures are important in communication, and those researchers often make a distinction between beat and iconic gestures. Iconic gestures convey meaning, specifically, visual-spatial information. Beat gestures do not convey meaning; they facilitate lexical access. In our study, we videotaped participants while they described artefacts presented through varied media: visual examination, physical interaction, and three-dimensional virtual and material replica (i.e., 3D prints) interaction. Video analysis revealed that media type affected gesture production. Participants who viewed actual objects displayed in a museum-style case produced few gestures in their descriptions. This finding suggests that traditional museum displays may diminish or limit museum users degree of engagement with ancient artefacts. This interdisciplinary work advances our knowledge of material culture by providing new insights into how people use and experience ancient artefacts in varied presentations. Implications for virtual reproduction in research, education, and communication in archaeology are discussed.
