The Virtual Theatre District of Pompeii

چکیده
Our project is a reconstruction of the Theatre district in Pompeii as an interactive three-dimensional model. This model will include the large or “grand” Theatre, the Triangular Forum and its monuments, and the connecting areas between the forum, theatre, and the encircling street grid. We will integrate the model with an encyclopaedia-like website containing supporting references, photography, and other documentation.
