A call for new projects for PURE3D, an infrastructure for publishing 3D scholarship (call closes 18 August 2023)

[cpapado...@gmail.com]

PURE3D: The Infrastructure for the Publication and Preservation of 3D Scholarship, funded by Platform Digitale Infrastructuur – Social Sciences & Humanities is delighted to announce a call for new 3D scholarly editions to be developed in its beta infrastructure. These editions take as their premise that the 3D model is a valuable source for taking a user-centric approach for the communication of research findings, (alternative) hypotheses, and (historical) contexts. 3D models are thus the “text” which can be enriched via multimodal annotation.

The PURE3D environment provides a user-friendly and persistent environment for individuals or teams to create their editions using Smithsonian Voyager, an interface for creating editions and narratives with a 3D model at its centre. We welcome projects from any field in which 3D can be used as a modality for argumentation, simulation, knowledge communication, and hypothesis testing, including but not limited to heritage, archaeology, history, museology, architecture, anthropology, forensics, and engineering.

This call is to source new projects which will be carried out between c. 15 October 2023 and 30 July 2024. Teams can be located anywhere in the world as support, training and workshops can be carried out virtually. It is envisioned that during the grant period PIs of successful projects will be invited to a workshop in The Netherlands. The main requirement for application is that you have an existing 3D model or models to work with (you could propose a number of editions on a particular topic or theme), and have (or can source) text, images, videos, other 3D models, etc., that you would use to contextualise it/them. 

The call for projects closes on 18 August 2023
