VAST 2012, 13th International Symposium on Virtual Reality, Archaeology and Cultural Heritage. Short and Project Papers

The VAST conference not only focuses on the development of innovative solutions, but it will investigate the issues of the exploitation of computer science research by the cultural heritage community. The transition from research to practical reality can be fraught with difficulty. The digital environment provides new opportunities and new business processes for sustainability, but with these opportunities there are also challenges. VAST 2012 will provide an opportunity for the heritage and ICT communities to understand these challenges and shape the future of ICT and heritage research. This year the short and project papers will be complimented by their own dedicated panel discussions.
