How to Visualize the Invisible Simulating Air Pollution Dispersions in a 3D City Model
2013
Ingår i: 13th International Conference on Computers in Urban Planning and Urban Management, CUMPUM 2013; Utrecht; Netherlands; 2 July 2013 through 5 July 2013. ; 2013, s. 1-4

This is a work in progress on how to visualize air pollution dispersion in 3D from a street perspective. Invisible environmental factors, such as air pollution, are hard to present in a comprehensible way, and thus difficult to grasp. Consequently these questions often get low priority in urban planning processes. In order to create a better understanding for e.g. air pollution at street level, a visual concept for 3D-city models needs to be developed, where a walk through perspective at street level with pollution levels is included. An urban area in central Gothenburg (Fig 1A,B) is studied regarding the quality of air following changes in the built environment. The project explores different ways to represent environmental factors in 3D-city models. Spreading calculations for particles are carried out, based on the plan for new buildings in the area. For comparison, a scenario of the current situation are produced, based on existing calculations for emissions from traffic and harbour activities. Finally, the air pollution visualization will be integrated in the 3D city model of Gothenburg.

Digital Time-Travels: Communicating Historical GIS and TGIS-Information in Museum Environments
2009
Ingår i: GIS in the Humanities and Social Sciences International Conference — Innovating — Collaborating — Sharing, October 7-9 2009, Academica Sinica, Taipei. Proceedings. ; , s. 365-380
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat) abstract
The Digital Time Travels Project is an interdisciplinary, collaborative initiative which seeks to develop and evaluate new methods for the distribution and representation of digital archaeological information to the public. Toward that end, the project has developed two tools for museum and online use: The first is a physical, tactile model of the Göta Älv river valley in western Sweden, which has been combined with an overhead projector that project a TGIS-based animation of the valleys natural and cultural landscape development from roughly 12500 BP to the present onto the surface of the model. The model is designed to be touched, with various components such as archaeological sites, shoreline locations, and land elevation changes represented by different textures which are also intended to make the model more accessible to the visually impaired. Secondly, a computer application which uses GIS data, 3D scans of archaeological objects, 3D reconstructions and animations of past sites and landscapes to present information about the past in an interactive, multilingual format via touch screen interfaces as well as on the World Wide Web (web). Both the museum exhibit and the web application are under evaluation in order to determine how they are used and how to improve them. In this presentation we outline the development of these tools, evaluate their use, and discuss future plans for their improvement. The museum exhibition opened at Lödöse Museum, in the center of the Göta River Valley on June 13th 2009, and a web version of the computer application will later become available through the project website.

On the line between Fact and Fiction: Tools and procedures for digital mediation in Cultural Heritage Management
2010
Ingår i: COMMUNICATE THE PAST: Ways to present archaeology to the public. Proceedings from the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) 14th Annual Meeting, Valletta, Malta 16th to 21th September 2008, edited by Anna Arnberg & Tove Stjärna. - 1653-7386. - 9789174530063 ; Kulturmiljövård i Mälardalen Skrifter 2, s. 87-98
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat) abstract
This paper presents and discusses the work and objectives developed within the ongo-ing project Digital Time-travels: New strategies for archaeology and cultural heritage management? The work is focused on the development of new methods for the presentation and publication of archaeological data, particularly the use and effectiveness of digital methods for the presentation of archaeological information to the public. This in-volves cooperation with museums and other institutions as well as with the general public to develop useful and meaningful models of past landscapes and site-contexts with the purpose of augmenting and stimulating public awareness of archaeological remains. This paper presents our work with models visualizing landscape develop-ment and with the design and construction of an interactive interface for mediation and communication of archaeological information through computer-terminals in-stalled as part of museum displays, and through the Internet. The project is funded by the Swedish National Heritage Board and is organized as a joint venture between the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History at Goth-enburg University, the Department of Architecture at Chalmers University of Tech-nology and the Department of Soil Sciences at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
