A Distributed Platform for Archiving and Viewing Cultural Artifacts in 3D Using WebGL

Weeraphan Chanhom

Abstract—Cultural heritage is important for each society. History is defined by and studied through cultural heritage. An important problem is providing easy access to cultural heritage and presenting it in an easy-to-use manner for the layman. With the development of the internet and computer graphics technology, it has now become possible to display real-time interactive 3D content on the web. The aims of this paper are to study this technology and to design a web-based 3D platform for cultural artifacts, which includes capability for acquisition, archiving and display. Moreover, the platform will be distributed based upon WebGL Earth in order to link museums around the world.

Index Terms—WebGL, computer 3D graphic, cultural artifact.
