Demonstration: Demo Track 2: New Forms of Interaction

In this implementation, we use Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) and Function Representation (FRep) as practical applications of mathematical representations which fit the purposes of long term digital preservation of cultural heritage sites and objects. We demonstrate our methods with CSG models of two Buddhist temples from the Aizu region of Japan and FRep models of traditional Japanese lacquer ware.
