Developing a 3D Khachkar Virtual Museum
September 22, 2017 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm +04
About the Event:
The aim of this talk is to present the current status of an ongoing research project about a virtual museum of Khachkars. In this museum visitors can construct their own Khachkar exposition choosing stones from a more than 50 different models which have been digitized. It is expected that users learn about Khachkars by constructing the exposition which may include stones which in the real world may be located far from each other. Attendees will have the possibility to test the software and give feedback about how to improve it.
