CreatiVE Summer School by CeRVA

creatiVE Summer School 2019

Why search our heritage roots on the Internet when we may discover them in an entertaining way, by the means of third millennium technologies, and integrate them in our personal interpretation. The link with the roots of humanity may become stronger by socially interacting to interpret them. Virtual and augmented reality represents the technology that permits us to bring to life these lost historical periods of time, while protecting the real artifacts for generations to come.

The 8-th Edition of creatiVE Summer School in Virtual Environments, organised at Ovidius University of Constanta by CeRVA Lab of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, together with the Museum of National History and Archaeology from Constanta and Transilvania University from Brasov, the latest being supported by supported by the Romanian Space Agency under contract number 158/2017, project BRAINSPACE, focuses on applying mixed reality in the reconstruction of archaeological artifacts discovered in Dobrogea enhanced with animated elements. The project's aim is to specialize students in 3D modeling and historical reconstructions, while having the purpose of adding soft skills such as team work.
