Heritage Key has an ‘exclusive interview’ with Dr Robert Cargill who is at the forefront of the UCLA Qumran Visualization project (see here). In it Owen Jarus writes,
He uses virtual reality as a tool to conduct archaeological research on Qumran, the site where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves…
He generously took some time off from his busy schedule to talk to me about Virtual Qumran and how virtual reality is changing archaeology.
You can read the whole interview here.
It is detailed and takes the reader nicely through the work done.
Dr Cargill’s website can be visited here.
The Virtual Qumran site is here and now offers free downloadable images of the reconstructed remains of Khirbet Qumran.
HT: Dr Jim West.
