| This might interest someone.

It gives a pretty good description of how to scan artifacts to produce 3D models.

| Steve,
That looks very interesting, wouldn't mind trying it out myself.
I was looking at marine navigation software a while ago (I'm doing research on shipwrecks), and it was capable of displaying echo soundings as an on-screen 3d model. You actually watched your "boat" as it made too close to a shoal, or stayed in exactly the right place!
Not entirely the same thing, I know, but it shows what technology is capable of.
Yours in History,

| Gordon -
Strange that you mention archaeology on the waves (or under). I was just looking at this yesterday:

| This caught my eye-

It's designed to work best with Apple Quicktime, but I just about managed to coax it to work.

| I've been playing with something similar for the web site I've put up, still not happy with the quality, there is 'PT viewer' which utilises Java Script, but I experienced problems setting that up, so stuck with the QT format. |
