Advanced Challenges in Theory and Practice in 3D Modeling of Cultural Heritage Sites, Arkansas 2015 and Los Angeles 2016

The NEH Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities Summer Institute, “Advanced Challenges in Theory and Practice in 3D Modeling of Cultural Heritage Sites,” was recommended for funding by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The principle investigators are Associate Professor Alyson Gil and Dr Lisa Snyder.
I will be a guest lecturer, the first 1 week workshop will be hosted at the Arkansas State University around 8-14 June 2015, the 2nd event, a 3 day symposium, will be hosted at UCLA, (Los Angeles), 6-9 June 2016.

Summary: A one week institute with a follow up workshop held over two summers, hosted by Arkansas State University and the University of California, Los Angeles, to consider the theoretical and ethical issues associated with three dimensional modeling of cultural heritage sites and objects.

Guest Lecturers include:
Diane Favro UCLA
Bernie Frischer Indiana University
Chris Johanson UCLA
Maurizio Forte Duke University
Ruth Hawkins Arkansas State University
Angel Nieves Hamilton College
John Clarke University of Texas at Austin
Erik Champion, Curtin University (am I the only one from outside of the States?)

 

Will Adobe Flash 11 feature a proper 3D rendering engine and API

I spoke to an Adobe sales guy last week who knew nothing of this.

Is it premature to think Flash 11 will feature 3D?

The next version of Flash, amidst growing competition from emerging 3D-in-the-browser technologies WebGL and O3D, will feature support for 3D graphics.

But don’t get too excited just yet — we’ll probably have to wait until October and the Adobe MAX 2010 conference before we find out more. There, on October 27th, a Flash player engineer will give a talk about “the next-generation 3D API coming in a future version of Flash Player.” How exciting is that?!
