Call for New 3D Scholarly Editions Open

[cpapado...@gmail.com]

Interested in making more of your 3D models than making them available on Sketchfab? Ever wondered about how to add context to your model as is common with text-based editions? Ever thought you might like to create a narrative around the 3D model that would emulate in a virtual way what visitors to museums experience in person? 

Then PURE3D’s call for 3D digital scholarly editions is for you!  PURE3D,  the infrastructure for publication and preservation of 3D scholarly editions (funded by Platform Digitale Infrastructuur – Social Sciences & Humanities), has opened a call for new projects. These editions take as their premise that the 3D model is a valuable source  for the communication of research findings, digital narratives, (alternative) hypotheses, and (historical) contexts. Within this paradigm, 3D models are the “text” which can be enriched via multimodal annotation, articles, and tours. We welcome projects from any field, both from the researchers as well as curators from the heritage sector.  

Successful applicants  will receive guidance and support from the PURE3D team in the form of virtual workshops, tutorials, and fully-paid face to face meetings. Projects will also benefit from individual mentorship by PURE3D staff, technical and conceptual support, and data preservation.  As part of the OPER3D  project (funded by NWO), project participants will also contribute to the development of a peer review workflow and practice, ultimately aiming at the publication of a peer-reviewed 3D scholarly edition.
