ShipShape 3D Communities

ShipShape项目是威尔士三一圣大卫大学（UWTSD）和纽波特博物馆和遗产服务（NMHS）之间的合作项目，由AHRC （M&G）资助，利用从纽波特中世纪船只中回收的木材的三维数字记录。这使得在新港船舶中心组装1到10比例的船舶模型成为可能。该模型同时具有研究和传播功能。该项目以ShipShape项目的成果为基础，利用数字对象集体制作动画和数字重建纽波特中世纪船。关键目标是确定新兴的MT技术是否可以在研究和传播工具中发挥重要作用，在遗产资产的数字复制品的审讯中，特别是考古船的发现。通过与UB HCI团队的合作，评估了专家和非专业用户在探索和询问这些复合数字对象时使用MT接口的效用。ShipShape 3D社区建立在计算机建模的基础上，迄今为止，通过探索这些3D数字数据集作为研究工具的潜力，以及传播的基础，特别是对非专业受众。这使得数据的视觉性质超越了与造船相关的技术术语固有的问题，并增加了游客的参与度和理解。通过与另一个ahrc资助的研究项目（伯明翰郊区，伯明翰大学）的合作，该项目利用了新开发的多点触摸（MT）技术，特别是在三维复合数据集的使用方面。该项目通过制作复合数字模型和动画作为研究工具和展示项目，提供了与新港船舶项目直接相关的产出。三维多点触控应用的使用和评估具有更广泛的意义，值得通过项目报告、专业期刊和互联网论坛进行传播。通过与专家研究小组（如法鲁和犀牛考古用户组- frag）、数字遗产会议（如数字过去2011）、互动小组（如ACM人机交互- CHI）和社区小组（如FoNS）的互动，实现了与一系列受众的讨论。

The ShipShape project, a collaborative project between the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) and Newport Museums and Heritage Service (NMHS) funded by AHRC (M&G), capitalised on the three-dimensional digital recording of the recovered timbers from the Newport mediaeval ship. This has subsequently enabled the assembly of a 1 to 10 scale model of the ship at the Newport Ship Centre. The model is serving as both a research and dissemination function. This project built on the outcomes of the ShipShape project by utilising digital objects collectively in the production of animations and digital reconstructions of the Newport mediaeval ship. The key objective was to determine if emerging MT technologies can play a significant role in research and dissemination tools in the interrogation of digital facsimiles of heritage assets, in particular archaeological ship finds. The utility of MT interfaces for the exploration and interrogation of such composite digital objects by both specialist and non-specialist users was assessed through collaboration with a UB HCI team. ShipShape 3D Communities built on the computer modelling undertaken so far by exploring the potential of such 3D digital datasets as research tools, and the basis for dissemination, particularly to non-specialist audiences. This allowed the visual nature of the data to transcend the problems inherent in technical terminology associated with shipbuilding and increase visitor engagement and understanding. Through collaboration with a fellow AHRC-funded research project (Suburban Birmingham, University of Birmingham), this project exploited the newly developing multi-touch (MT) technologies particularly with regard to the usage of three-dimensional composite datasets. The project delivered outputs of direct relevance to the Newport ship project through the production of composite digital models and animations as research tools and display items. Usage and assessment of three dimensional multi-touch applications has wider implications, worthy of dissemination through project reports, professional journals and internet fora. Discussion with a range of audiences has been achieved through interaction with specialist research groups (e.g. Faro and Rhino Archaeological Users Group - FRAUG), digital heritage conferences (e.g. Digital Past 2011), interaction groups (e,g, ACM Computer-Human Interaction - CHI) and community groups (e.g. FoNS).
