ABSTRACT

3D modelling technologies have gained importance as tools for the reconstruction and visualisation of historical items during the last decades. The authors have completed the analysis of the content of 478 conference papers and articles related to 3D reconstruction in the field of humanities in order to investigate current topics, technologies and involved institutions. The research showed that the analysed projects use a wide scope of technologies and are fast to adopt new teclmological developments as well as current socio-technological trends, while the implementation of 3D as ‘everyday technology’ is still in progress. Besides these findings, the authors identified an active scientific community, their protagonists, and current topics of research.
