The Ename 974
Project has developed a computer-based presentation technique that
allows archaeological sites to be interpreted in a variety of ways,
to different audiences, without damaging or dubious physical reconstruction
of the archaeological remains.
The first prototype
of this non-intrusive interpretation system, called TimeScope, was
installed at the Ename site in September 1997, using the foundations
of the abbey church as the basis for virtual reconstruction. The
initial TimeFrame concept, by John Sunderland and André De
Clercq (Barco), was technically developed by IBM
and further refined by Daniel Pletinckx of the Ename 974 team. The
project was commissioned by the government of the Province of East-Flanders.
The Institute for Archaeological Heritage of the Flemish Community
of Belgium (IAP) was responsible for providing the archaeological
data used in the computer reconstructions.
