3D technology in the cultural heritage and education context

Abstract

Modern technologies are getting involved in most spheres of human activities, they play an important role also in cultural heritage care. These technologies are used when research into historical reference is carried out, specifically in case of digitalization. Within the vast framework of cultural heritage, this paper deals with using 3D technologies suitable for digitalization of cultural heritage and utilization of its results in education. Firstly, the text focuses on basic criteria selecting a software appropriate for creation of a digital 3D model of a historical building and its implementation into a serious game. The second focus is on possible ways in which 3D technologies can impact the process of teaching history to elementary school pupils.
