World Heritage Site: Angkor

Publication Year: 2020

Publication Type: Article

Publication Identifier: WHE53EE1F94B6

Summary

Virtual Angkor demonstrates how advanced computer graphics, combined with historical and scientific research, can create an interactive, high-fidelity digital model of the ancient Cambodian city. This platform integrates artistic, technical, and academic expertise to simulate life in premodern Angkor, addressing challenges like time compression, parameter-driven simulation, and modeling fidelity. By merging feedback loops and collaborative processes, it offers a dynamic tool for education and research, showcasing the potential of interdisciplinary approaches in reconstructing complex urban spaces.
