Summary: Computer graphics holds the promise of providing virtual and enhanced access to museum collections and archaeological sites. High-resolution digital 3D models of real objects and sites can be acquired using laser range sensors and modeling algorithms, to create virtualized models that convey a faithful appearance of the object and provide information for analysis and study. In this article, the authors describe a number of demonstration projects that were performed in collaboration with museums and conservation agencies. These projects provided a unique setting to test and improve 3D imaging and modeling in the particular context of heritage.
