Costas Papadopoulos awarded eScience Centre grant
Costas Papadopoulos has been awarded an eScience Centre grant of €250,000 for the project ‘Dynamic3D: Real-Time Simulation and Analysis for 3D Scholarly Editions’. The grant will allow a Research Software Engineering team to develop tools for enhancing the PURE3D infrastructure with real-time simulations, so that researchers and users of 3D scholarship can dynamically simulate variables and hypotheses, and visualise uncertainties in 3D models of cultural heritage.
Dynamic3D will be developed around three use cases. Each of the use cases, coming from different domains – history, architectural heritage, and media studies – offers a unique research problem that can only be solved by making use of simulations and by illustrating the uncertainty of the decision-making and the developed solutions. Dynamic3D will address a critical gap in the current scholarly infrastructure by providing new ways of engaging with 3D content, developing scalable simulation tools for 3D scholarly editions, and providing insights into the dynamic and complex aspects of cultural heritage presentation, analysis, and (re)construction.
The project team, led by Costas Papadopoulos, consists of Susan Schreibman (Maastricht University), Chiara Piccoli (UvA/4DRLab), Tim van der Heijden (Open University), Jamie Cope and Vince Rossi (The Smithsonian Digitisation Programme), and the KNAW Humanities Cluster/Digital Infrastructure.
