This paper describes the annotation system developed for VSim, an NEH-funded run-time software prototype for interacting with three-dimensional computer models in both formal and informal educational settings. Specifically divorced from the model creation process, the VSim annotation system provides users -- be they content creators, project collaborators, peer reviewers, independent scholars, editors, in-service educators, or students -- the ability to embed spatially aware commentary…

VAnnotatoR: A Framework for Generating Multimodal Hypertexts
TLDR
The paper introduces the underlying model of hyperlinks and exemplifies VAnnotatoR by means of a project in the area of public history, the so-called Stolperwege project, which enables the annotation and linkage of semiotic aggregates with walk-on-able animations of places and buildings.
Digital Karnak:
Archaeologists, historians, and art historians are increasingly turning to three-dimensional computer modeling to create dynamic visualizations of ancient monuments and urban spaces, but the…
Towards 3D Scholarly Editions: The Battle of Mount Street Bridge
TLDR
This research utilises as a case study the Battle of Mount Street Bridge of the Irish Easter 1916 Rising, in which the number of British casualties has been fiercely debated, to provide a new paradigm for approaching virtual worlds in a contextualized and annotated environment.
Immersive Visualization and Curation of Archaeological Heritage Data: Çatalhöyük and the Dig@IT App
TLDR
This work describes the results it achieved developing the application Dig@IT, a multi-platform, scalable virtual reality tool able to foster archaeological data analysis, interpretation, and curation in a realistic and highly interactive virtual environment.
Survey of 3D digital heritage repositories and platforms
Despite the increasing number of three-dimensional (3D) model portals and online repositories catering for digital heritage scholars, students and interested members of the general public, there are…
Virtually united in real time: Museum collections and archaeological context explored
TLDR
The “Reviving Karanis” project re-unites cultural heritage data ranging from archaeological excavation reports to museum collections and provides a way to explore their relation in an intuitive, associative, or highly data driven approach.
Functionalities provided by Annotation Systems for Learners in Educational Context: An Overview
TLDR
A comparison of functionalities provided by forty annotation systems developed by industry and academia during the last decade is presented, which reveals gaps in systems and opportunities for further research.
3D Reconstructions as Research Hubs: Geospatial Interfaces for Real-Time Data Exploration of Seventeenth-Century Amsterdam Domestic Interiors
TLDR
3D reconstructions as geospatial interfaces to structure and explore historical data of seventeenth-century Amsterdam and how users of the research environment can add annotations and rearrange objects in the scene, facilitating further knowledge discovery and creation are outlined.

VSim: Real-time Visualization of 3D Digital Humanities Content for Education and Collaboration
TLDR
VSim is presented, a framework for the visualization of 3D architectural and archeological models that focuses on educational use and scholarly collaboration, an approach that is not commonly found in existing commercial software.
Empire 3D: A Collaborative Semantic Annotation Tool for Virtual Environments
TLDR
The development of a unique, life-size, stereo visualization of this lost architecture, with spatialised semantic annotations, will enhance engagement with and understanding of this hugely significant event in history.
Annotating 3D content in interactive, virtual worlds
TLDR
This work presents a novel, image-based labeling approach that uses enhanced visibility analysis to dynamically attach labels to visible parts of 2D and 3D labeling objects and explains how dynamic switching between internal and external labeling can be performed using this method.
Linking Evidence with Heritage Visualization using a large Scale Collaborative Interface
TLDR
The development of techniques that allow research sources to be added as multimedia annotations to a 3D reconstruction of the British Empire Exhibition of 1938 are described, which enhances not only the engagement with and understanding of this significant event in history, but the accountability of the research process itself.
Information-rich virtual environments: theory, tools, and research agenda
TLDR
This work is developing a theoretical foundation for the study of IRVEs and tools for their development and evaluation, and describes a software framework for IRVE development and a testbed enabling evaluation of text display techniques forIRVEs.
