3D-CONS: Year 2-Publishable Summary

The 3D-ICONS project started in February 2012 and has completed its second year with one year left to go. The project focuses on digital content that includes 3D models and reconstructions, enlarged models of important details and related images, texts and videos. It will also include and re-contextualize in 3D, objects belonging to a monument but presently located elsewhere, for example in museums. The project’s activities predominantly consist of new digitisations but also includes some existing 3D data, all of which is being converted into formats accessible by Europeana users. 3D-ICONS is expected to make a significant impact by providing Europeana with an unprecedented quantity of high-quality, 3D, well-organized and attractive information about the masterpieces of European architecture and archaeology.3D-ICONS was a project funded under the European Commission's ICT Policy Support Programme, project no. 29719
