Have you thought about viewing your #digital #3D #archaeology models in-situ in a trench at your site? Read our article on the use of #MixedReality and #AugmentedReality (#MR/#AR) in archaeological #fieldwork in the Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology (#JCAA)! Our experiments utilized three devices: the Vuzix Blade 2 AR smart glasses, the Microsoft #HoloLens2, and the Meta #QuestPro MR headsets. These experiments aimed to enhance fieldwork efficiency and accuracy through hands-free data collection, stratigraphic comparisons using 3D models, depth-guidance systems for excavation, and virtual pottery reconstruction. Our findings highlight the significant potential of MR/AR technologies to transform archaeological practices. Our vision for the future demonstrates that these tools will, one day, provide archaeologists with enhanced vision and data interaction capabilities, ultimately advancing the field.
In less than 3 months, our article already has over 3000 views, so we thank you for your interest in exploring the future of digital archaeology with us!

您是否想過在考古現場的壕溝中查看數碼3D考古模型?請閱讀我們在《考古學電腦應用期刊》(#JCAA) 中關於在考古現場中使用混合現實和擴增實境 (#MR/#AR) 的文章!我們的實驗使用了三種裝置:Vuzix Blade 2 AR 智慧眼鏡、Microsoft #HoloLens2 和 @Meta #QuestPro MR 耳機。這些實驗旨在透過免持的資料收集、使用 3D 模型進行地層比較、挖掘深度引導系統和虛擬陶器重建,來提高考古現場的工作效率和準確性。我們的研究結果凸顯了 MR/AR 技術在改變考古實踐方面的巨大潛力。我們對未來的願景是,有一天,這些工具將為考古學家提供增強的視覺和數據互動能力,最終推動該領域的發展。 在不到3個月的時間裡,我們的文章已經有超過3000次瀏覽,感謝您有興趣與我們一起探索數碼考古的未來!

HEADS UP!

Quest pro being discontinued unfortunately!

Man, the options for face tracking in VR get slimmer and slimmer!

If you were on the fence about one for
​ or ​​ I think it's getting to be time to consider one, especially since Quest pro 2 was delayed until 2027 too ​
