Abstract
Digitization in cultural heritage has been established as an important method for research, preservation, documentation, and dissemination of knowledge. Largely this research has been done on archaeological sites and artifacts made of durable materials using a variety of 3d digitization methods, from digital photogrammetry to laser scanning to and structured light 3D scanning. One class of artefacts less interested by 3D visualization applications of that of ancient textiles. The perishable nature of these materials and consequently their limited availability in museum collections has not encouraged many studies, with the exception of some significant case studies of digital restoration and 3D capturing. This paper aims at critically revising the available 3D digitization and 3D visualization approaches for the study of ancient textiles and present an example of how such technology can be successfully used to achieve global digital dissemination of knowledge among the general public and that public affected by disabilities that can hinder the learning process. In the Spring of 2022, a team from the Institute for Digital Exploration (IDEx) at the University of South Florida (USF) scanned eight items from a collection of Minoan and Mycenaean garment replicas created by Dr. Bernice Jones, a unique collection, subject of several national and international exhibitions, that has become the primarily visual interpretative tool for the study of Minoan and Mycenaean fashion. Using structured light 3D scanning to generate accurate and realistic replicas, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality solutions have been applied to create a digital companion for future exhibitions.
