Challenges and Current Applications of 3D Information Technologies for Cultural Heritage

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences entitled “Challenges and Current Applications of 3D Information Technologies for Cultural Heritage“ aims to present recent challenges and developments in the use of digital 3D technologies to protect, preserve and popularise cultural heritage. All interested authors are invited to submit for possible publication in this Special Issue the latest results in 3D digital technology applications to record, document and protect cultural heritage and make it available to everyone for the research, educational and social purposes.

All papers need to present original, previously unpublished work and will be subject to the normal standards and peer-review processes of this journal. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• IT in cultural heritage;
• 3D modelling and visualisation of historical artefacts and buildings;
• 3D digitalisation technologies, devices and methods;
• Motion capture and similar techniques for cultural heritage data acquisition;
• Multi-spectral analysis in cultural heritage;
• Digital reconstruction of damaged historical artefacts, sites and buildings;
• 3D Information technologies in documenting archaeological sites and artefacts;
• Digital availability of cultural heritage;
• Modern exhibition techniques, virtual and interactive museums;
• Gamification in cultural heritage dissemination, promotion and education;
• 3D printing for cultural heritage;
• Virtual 3D historical worlds;
• Providing cultural heritage to the blind;
• 3D information technologies in the renovation of historical objects;
• New trends in 3D information technologies for cultural heritage;
• Using artificial intelligence to document, research, reconstruct and protect cultural heritage;
