Abstract:
Panel: Serious Animation: Beyond Art and Entertainment
This presentation discusses how 3D haptic technology is used to depict faces of the dead. The paper describes 3D anatomical modelling and the utilisation of skeletal models from clinical imaging data and explains how this can be employed to aid recognition and identification in forensic investigations or authentication and depiction in archaeological research. The presentation will show depictions of Ancient Egyptians, Bog Bodies and famous historical figures, such as J.S. Bach and William Shakespeare.
