Abstract

In this project, we develop a digital reconstruction procedure, that implemented and integrated 3D scanner, motion capture and virtual reality cave (VR Cave), to reconstruct Chang-An City that existed 1400 years ago but disappeared now. This is an interdisciplinary project, and is also my first time to lead a research team with over 15 members from 6 schools.
