Build 3D models for Ancient Thebes

The creation of 3D models is the basis of digital exhibitions, as it allows details such as the shape, size, material and lighting effects of objects to be presented in a virtual environment, allowing the viewer to get a realistic sense of the object’s realism. With a 3D model, we can do things like VR and AR exhibitions, game modelling, 3d model visualisation etc. This helps us to protect and preserve our heritage even more, and also allows us to provide the public with a more detailed and multi-faceted presentation of our heritage.

Feeling the damage caused by climate change on heritage From VR/AR.

Through the restoration of the 3D models, visitors can get a more visual sense of the erosion and damage that Ancient Thebes has suffered as a result of climate change. By embedding the 3D models into a mobile phone application, we can allow visitors to see what the eroded heritage might have looked like through an in situ AR display, and be able to use their phones for guided tours and learning anytime, anywhere. At the same time, online VR tours and real images can provide visitors with a more realistic display experience and comparison, giving them an insight into the age and historical context of the heritage. Through these digital tools, we can not only better preserve our historical heritage, but also provide visitors with an accurate and intuitive way to display and learn about it.

Using digital platforms for exhibitions

In today’s digital age, it is often easy to do things with digital equipment that we could not do in the past. Digital platforms allow information to be disseminated more quickly and comprehensively, and enable people from all over the world to provide feedback. Using the creation of web and mobile platforms, we can enrich the visitor’s visit by incorporating VR/AR displays in which visitors can learn about the dangers of climate change for Ancient Thebes. This will not only draw attention to the fact that Ancient Thebes is being eroded due to climate change, but will also promote awareness of the need to protect other monuments.
