Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

Colonial Williamsburg is partnering with the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia to develop 3D models of five unique historical sites within Colonial Williamsburg, and provide scanned, digitized facades of twenty-three buildings to create a complete streetscape. This high-quality 3D experience will be aimed at the general public, as well as historic researchers and scholars. The models will be interactive and will enable visitors to experience the historical sites through virtual re-creations that access the wealth of historical documentation amassed by Williamsburg scholars. This historically accurate and in-depth experience will enhance the relationship between on-site and online programming at Colonial Williamsburg.
