Description:
Phimai, one of the most important Khmer monuments in Thailand, is a walled complex of reconstructed temples, libraries, and ancillary structures. Reconstruction of this United Nations World Heritage site highlights the potential of computer visualization as a tool in heritage resource management. Virtual worlds offer archaeologists, historians, and museum curators a non-evasive environment for testing reconstruction scenarios, and they allow the public to learn about important historic monuments without contributing to their deterioration.
