ABSTRACT

The traditional collection or archaeological site are supported by digital collections that guarantee

widespread dissemination, study and enhancement for different users, follow up degree and virtual truth.

The paper describes a survey campaign of the Leptis Magna and Sabratha sites aimed to stage the National

Museum of Tripoli in Libya. This represents a full experience of knowledge. Some of the innovative

technological outfitting has been made by the Touch Windows with our research group. The main target of

the exhibition was to let visitors have an perceiving experience on archaeological site (building, context,

artifact).OursecondtargetwastoshowthemostimportantRomanstatues,thatareoftenhardlyachievable.

Our study describes several experiences in the field of the full dome photographs processing, applied to

documentationandmodeling.

Furthermore we have employed pseudoholographic tools for the visualization of full-figured statues in the

3D space. The statue model is visible in its morphologic coherence, thanks to the use of photographic and

laserscanningacquisition.

The research different stages have integrated spherical panoramas models, 3D models by spherical

photogrammetry, mesh models by lidar scanning, real time video and virtual scenarios. This experience may

become an efficient and low cost workflow for scientific and impressive communication of archaeological

artifactinmuseums.
