CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
to the first German Virtual Heritage School - Year 2012
GNSS 2012 – German National Summer School on “Developing VR and AR Apps” for the digital cultural heritage
Saalburg, Germany, 3-7 September 2012
***********************************************************************************************************
This is the first edition of the german national summer school conducted by the Fraunhofer IGD. The school introduces participants to the new field on web deployment of VR and web based AR Applications ("VR/AR Apps") as well as related topics on applied CG technology in the area of virtual and augmented digital heritage, 3D reconstruction, technological tools dedicated to processing and integration into web front ends, ported to mobile smartphones and registered with the physical world. The students will learn basic concepts on 3D documentation, capturing, tracking and reconstruction technologies required for online/offline and mobile virtual museums. The topics to be addressed are:
▪ Virtual Reality on the web (VR Apps) – HTML 5 embedding of interactive 3D graphics, X3DOM, 3D event handling and routing, interaction and advanced visualisation techniques within web browsers, online virtual museums (www.x3dom.org)
▪ Augmented Reality (AR Apps) – capturing, registration, analysis-by-synthesis techniques, extensions to browser front-ends, remote tracking and advanced feature based registration methods (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSWxrDrvDy8)
▪ 3D Documentation – basic technologies on digitisation, pre- and postprocessing as well as 3D annotation and metadata handling for 3D digital assets (e.g. http://www.3dcoform.eu/x3domCatalogue// <http://www.3dcoform.eu/x3domCatalogue/> )
Participants will gain practical experiences on developing compelling and sophisticated 3D interactive applications for the web as well as mobile platforms. Minimal requirements are basic experiences with modern Web Design technologies i.e. HTML 5, Javascript, CSS3. The programme consists of 8 theoretical blocks on the diverse technologies as well as 6 practical afternoon blocks in which students will get "hands-on" experiences on VR/AR web app development.
The approach aims to leverage 3 key factors:
1) intensive lectures on 3D documentation, acquisition as well as presentation in the field of VR/AR;
2) intensive exchange for students and teachers living in the same environment;
3) multidisciplinary approach.
Professionals from CH institutions (cultural foundations, museums), young researchers and students in the area of applied CG are invited to submit their application to attend the school. A limited number of scholarships is available and will be allocated through a competitive evaluation by the scientific committee. Applications and registrations should be done through:
