Modeling and Simulation in Williamsburg, Virginia
Friday, April 23, 2010
See where technology and colonial America are intersecting.
Virtual Williamsburg is an ongoing initiative to create a 3D computer model of Virginia's capital in 1776 as the backdrop for key events leading to the American Revolution as well as at other important periods in the town's history. Reconstructing Williamsburg virtually will involve modeling a range of buildings, from standing eighteenth-century structures to archaeological sites with no above-ground remains, as well as recreating the ravine-filled topography which has been smoothed out over time.
