Digitalización 3D y Difusión en Web del Patrimonio de las Universidades Andaluzas mediante X3D Y WebGL

Abstract

Under the auspices of the Atalaya Project we have digitalized a set of artworks and historical rooms that belong to the Cultural Heritage of andalusian universities. In a first phase we have scanned with submillimetric accuracy 24 sculptures from Universities of Seville and Granada, as well as seven historical rooms of the latter, obtaining models that have from 70 to 240 million polygons. These datasets have been used in the newly-created website about the Cultural Heritage of the Andalusian Universities, where visitors can visualize not only text, photographs and videos, but also can examine in real 3D the scanned sculptures, and even perform walkthroughs inside the scanned rooms without any need of installing external plugins, by having used in its development standards such as X3D and WebGL.
