Visualising Angkor Day One: Video Screening

A great mix of people as we introduced the Australian and Cambodian projects.

Lots of young students as well as architects, archaeologists, aspiring animators and art fans. Translator Rith helps Tom summarize his work 'Virtual Heritage' to our bilingual crowd.

These models allow demonstration of different archaeological ideas, and can be changed to reflect different theories. What we have here are some first steps towards developing more detailed examples.
