Workshop
Digitalization of Cultural Heritage
GI Informatik Festival 2024
26th September 2024 in Wiesbaden, Rhein-Main University of Applied Sc.
Cultural heritage creates identity to people, society and nations. But in many regions of this world tangible cultural heritage is in danger due to erosion or political conflicts. Thus, cultural knowledge is lost and cannot be passed on to future generations.
This workshop deals with the urgent question of the possibilities of digitalizing and virtualizing cultural heritage in order to preserve it digitally and make it accessible to a broad audience, regardless of space and time.
The workshop begins at 9:00 with opening remarks and an introduction by the Workshop Chairs. Throughout the day, six paper sessions feature a range of international speakers, including P. Grimm, B. Mahmood, S. Rashid, L. and many more. The sessions cover topics from 3D scanning and photogrammetry to virtual reality and ethical concerns in digitalization, with discussions following each session. The workshop concludes at 17:30 with a summary and closing remarks. For the complete schedule, click the button!
