An existing real-time virtual reality database, created since 1997 and currently available only on a supercomputer at UCLA, will be converted to a format that can operate on the Internet. This database is a real-time computer model of the Roman Forum as it appeared in late antiquity. Created and authenticated by a Scientific Committee of leading archaeological experts on the Forum, the model includes the interiors and exteriors of each building and monument in the Forum. Research issues to be explored include: (1) How are real-time 3D computer models of cultural heritage sites like the Roman Forum best viewed on the Internet? (2) What other multimedia resources should accompany the 3D computer models to make the information offered about the site useful to scholars and students? (3) What does it mean to create an "authenticated" 3D computer model of a cultural heritage site? The existing Forum model will serve as a testbed for developing solutions to these problems. The project will help promote a better understanding of a key monument of Western civilization; and it will develop methodologies and technologies that can become standard solutions for the digital presentation of other important cultural heritage sites around the world.

现有的实时虚拟现实数据库自 1997 年创建，目前仅在加州大学洛杉矶分校的超级计算机上可用，该数据库将转换为可在互联网上运行的格式。该数据库是古代晚期出现的罗马广场的实时计算机模型。该模型由论坛顶尖考古专家组成的科学委员会创建并验证，包括论坛中每座建筑和纪念碑的内部和外部。需要探讨的研究问题包括：（1）如何在互联网上最好地观看古罗马广场等文化遗产地的实时3D计算机模型？ (2) 3D 计算机模型还应附带哪些其他多媒体资源，以使网站提供的信息对学者和学生有用？ (3) 创建“经过验证的”文化遗产地 3D 计算机模型意味着什么？现有的论坛模型将作为开发这些问题解决方案的测试平台。该项目将有助于促进人们更好地了解西方文明的重要纪念碑；它将开发可成为世界各地其他重要文化遗产地数字化呈现标准解决方案的方法和技术。
