Introduction
how to preserve cultural heritage?
Bosnia and Herzgovina – heritage destroyed
by age and the war
computer graphics should help the
archaeologists and historians using advanced
technologies
Stećak – Reconstruction and
sun simulation
stećak – medieval gravestone
stećak from Donje Zgošće – 14th century
Stećak – Digitalization
one corner damaged
3D model created by laser scanning
Minolta 910 laser scanner – laser triangulation
Stećak – Reconstruction
damaged corner reconstructed in Maya
Stećak – Sun simulation
orientation of stećaks was important for heretic
Christians
stećaks are moved from their original locations
and oriented in a wrong way
we created sun simulation to compare
orientations towards the sun

Conclusion
virtual heritage research in Bosnia and
Herzegovina has just started
combination of laser scanning and 3D
modeling enabled us to create a collection of
virtual models
presentation through interactive CD-s and web
applications expanded with virtual and real
avatars telling stories from BH tradition
Future work
stronger collaboration with archaeologists and
historians
expanding virtual heritage collection
virtual museum collections
application of digital storytelling techniques in
virtual environments
Thank you!
