This special issue of Visual Resources examines disparate methodologies and approaches to integrating innovative technologies with research and pedagogy in archaeology and art history. Over the past decade, technology, art history, and archaeology have combined their respective disciplines to develop digital models of ancient monuments and civic spaces.
The results range from Web-based panoramas and static two-dimensional models to interactive reconstructions of urban environments in three dimensions. Virtual reconstructions allow scholars to consider theoretical issues including sight lines, the function of space, urban interaction, and experimental architectural and engineering problems, including lighting, drainage, and ventilation. Virtual models also provide extraordinary opportunities for collaborative interdisciplinary research among teachers and students in the humanities with computer science, graphic design, and Web design.
