Drones, Holo Film and 3D – Cutting-edge Technologies in
Archaeology and Preservation of Built Heritage
Conference and Exhibition in Budapest on 6–7 February 2015
3D models, augmented reality, holo pyramids, drones and global positioning systems – all of
these are no longer just the possessions of museums of the future. Throughout the world, and
for several years in Hungary as well, these tools and methods that sounded futuristic not long
ago are being used in more and more areas for the preservation and presentation of heritage.
This two day event in Budapest will search for the answer to the question of how all of these
can be used even more effectively than presently, even within the context of international
cooperation. The organizers are admittedly aiming at a kind of “high-tech expo,” where
Hungarian and foreign experts dealing with the application of various modern technologies and
the researchers into archeological and built heritage can meet one another. The hosts of the
program are the Archaeolingua Foundation and Publishing House, which has been dealing with
the research into and presentation of cultural heritage – in particular archeological heritage –
for nearly twenty-five years, and the recently commenced Cultural Heritage Studies Program of
Central European University.
