These slides accompany a paper I gave at the Digital Heritage 2015 - 3D in knowledge production conference held in the wonderfully evocative Moesgaard Museum in Aarhus, Denmark on 21-22 May 2015. The paper presented a picture of the state of research and development in the field of virtual heritage on the island of Ireland in the context of the newly established Virtual Heritage Network group.

Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon Frank Lynam Final year PhD student at TCD Digital Arts and Humanities programme I am a Classical archaeologist by training and my research looks at how archaeology might benefit from Big Data But today Here on behalf of the VHN Ireland group Hugh Denard, the VHN Ireland chairman could not make it Thank Mette and the other organisers and I am delighted to be given opportunity to talk about the state of VH in Ireland Very exciting sector at the moment Lots of interesting projects in the public, private and academic sectors I hope to give over the course of the next 15 minutes you a flavour of some of this work And talk to you about the aims and ambitions of the VHN Ireland network
- Ireland’s rich and diverse cultural heritage ‘The land of saints and scholars’ Traditionally associated with the early spread of Christianity But it also played a significant role in the megalith cultures of the Neolithic And more recently, it has produced such lumaries as the great moderist novelist, James Joyce and the avant-garde playwright, Samuel Beckett.
- Allied with this in more recent years is a drive to innovate, to think of subjects from different perspectives. Today I want to present some of this work that falls within that somewhat amphorous category of ‘virtual heritage’ research and development.
- In 2013, myself, HD, Karolina Badzmierowska, MM and CD of DIT got together through a shared interest in V technologies HD had come back from Kings College London Lots of V projects London Charter Virtual Space and Sound group Inter-departmental within Trinity Abbey Theatre visualisations with Noho The proposal Not just another VH conference Run an event which would bring together groups from the public, private and academic sectors with an interest in VH Identify opportunities within this space Identify needs Establish links between projects with these needs and individuals or groups with the skillsets to meet these
- VCHIreland 2014 Held in TCD @LRH
- Over 20 speakers from that the public, private and academic sectors. 100 attendees
- Speaking about topics ranging from the use of laser scanning as way of preserving Irish material cultural heritage. …to using image recognition technology to analyse Medieval Christian tombs.
- As well as this there were workshops. We showed 3D scanning in operation 3D printing Virtual worlds used in educational contexts The Oculus Rift made an appearance.
- People were able to engage with tangible cultural heritage. And consider how virtual techniques can be used to arrive at new interpretations And to provide access to broader audience groups.
- And perhaps most importantly, we found that VCHIreland 2014 was used as a networking opportunity. We realised that there was a breadth of sectors out there interested in V technologies addressing C subject matter Sectors HBIM Archaeology Education Museums Tourism
- Aftermath of VCHIreland 2014 We decided to continue the initiative A few changes Name change Emphasis on the ‘network’ Tie in with similar networks around the world ‘Virtual’ not ‘digital’ Mission statement Form a network of people from the academic, business, education, cultural heritage, policy and tourism sectors in Ireland, working for the support, improvement and promotion of virtual heritage in Ireland. To make connections between people from a variety of sectors in Ireland who share an active interest in virtual heritage To encourage and support the carrying out of virtual heritage activities of the highest international standards To promote knowledge, understanding and appreciation of virtual heritage in Ireland To undertake any other activity that benefits virtual heritage in Ireland
- All bring expertise and resources Now I will present a number of indvidual projects by way of example.
- Working to promote 3D technology use in Ireland for over 20 years.
- Competitiveness and Innovation Framework programme 2007-2013

- Capture Landscape (Accuracy 5cm, Resolution 12cm) Structures (Accuracy 2mm, Resolution 10mm) Close-up details (Accuracy 0.1mm, Resolution 0.5mm)
- Output is key to 3D-ICONS Links to Europeana
- Noho private company base in Dublin Focus on video and audio content provision In their portfolio they have many CH-based projects
- Academic research Battle of Mount Street Bridge project It is claimed that, in a few short hours of the afternoon of Wednesday 26 April, approximately 230 British soldiers were wounded or killed at the hands of a handful of strategically-placed men (several of whom may, in fact, have never shot a gun before this engagement) shooting from four buildings near Mount Street Bridge. British casualty reports indicate approximately 25 deaths and 50 wounded. Something wrong here. Some contemporary military historians, however, are now casting doubt on this received version of events. Ballistic experts question whether the Volunteers could have shot as many people as claimed using the types of rifles they had been issued and in view of the inexperience of some of the men handling arms.
- Just a sample of what’s going on. There’s lots more. John Meneely in Queen’s. Crete-Ireland. Figurine studies using 3D. Roscommon Cross Slab Project Crowdsourcing the collection of 3D data about crosses. Photogrammetry. Train them and then send them out. Following the micropasts model in the UK.
