The presentation of cultural heritage models in EPOCH

The presentation of CH artefacts is technically demanding because it has to meet a variety of requirements: A plethora of file formats, compatibility with numerous application scenarios from powerwall to web-browser, sustainability and long-term availability, extensibility with respect to digital model representations, and last but not least a good usability. Instead of a monolithic application we propose a viewer architecture that builds upon a module concept and a scripting language. This permits to design with reasonable effort non-trivial interaction components for exploration and inspection of individual models as well as of complex 3D-scenes. Furthermore some specific CH-models will be discussed in more detail.
