Virtual Heritage, Immersive Environments and Photorealism
Abstract
International audience This paper describes the 3D digital reconstruction of Sinhaya, a X th-XII th century Muslim suburb in the city of Zaragoza. The visualization is based on archaeological evidence from excavations and accurate historical documents. Precise lighting algorithms developed by GIGA (Grupo de Informática Gráfica Avanzada) along with accurate models and textures, provide a photorealistic look. Images and animations can be viewed in a low-cost, CAVE-like System (CLS) designed and developed by our group.
