چکیده
The Sacred Way project is a cooperative international initiative for multimedia education in archaeology and Classical civilisation. The project is currently supported by the European Community COMETT II programme. Planned activities include seminars and courses, intended to introduce archaeologists, museum professionals and humanities educators to the techniques and potential of digital multimedia as a tool for training, education and dissemination of information. The project aims to produce a multimedia application, combining the technology of Compact Disc-Interactive (CD-I) with state-of-the-art photorealistic graphics and with advanced authoring and hypermedia techniques. This paper presents work in progress for the Sacred Way application, and discusses some of the issues involved, in the field of computer graphics.'
