Influencing factors on the visualisation of archaeological uncertainty Influencing factors on the visualisation of archaeological uncertainty Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-11-022007enThis paper presents further work on a 3D visualisation system for the reconstruction of historical structures which takes into account archaeological uncertainty. The uncertainty associated with an archaeologist's interpretation is represented using possibility theory and visualised by shader-based information visualisation schemes. An increase or decrease in uncertainty is influenced by any related evidence recovered; we define this evidence as 'influencing factors'. Different types of archaeological evidence were identified after discussions with several archaeologists. To understand the individual importance of each influencing factor on an interpretation, we analysed data derived from formal questionnaires distributed to a selected group of archaeologists equally divided between Roman and non-Roman specialists. They were asked questions ranging from the wider perception of uncertainty to more specific ones on the identified types of archaeological evidence. We describe the stages involved in designing the questions, the process of gathering data and feedback from archaeologists, and the results themselves. Results suggest that specific evidence types are considered more favourably than others.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/79-858th International conference on Virtual Reality, Archaeology and Intelligent Cultural HeritageProceedings of the 8th International conference on Virtual Reality, Archaeology and Intelligent Cultural Heritage Mania Aikaterini Μανια Αικατερινη Maria Sifniotis Martin White Phil Watten Association for Computing Machinery 3-D display systems 3D display systems Display systems, Three-dimensional three dimensional display systems 3 d display systems 3d display systems display systems three dimensional Art and archaeology archaeology and art art and archaeology
