Abstract

This paper introduces a new Archaeology Visualizing and Interacting (AVI) system. The system aims to apply new information technology in the Geographical Information Systems context to study historical and cultural heritage and comply with both scientific and cultural interest. The AVI System purposes to provide reliable and accurate information about tourism and culture for the students of archaeology and public communities in a new and attractive scientific framework. This system was developed to focus on two critical sections in the field of archaeology education. The first section focuses on applying new attractive methods to visualize archaeological data using Google Earth Program and providing 3D configurations for the archaeological locations with critical details and designs. The second part concentrates on finding and applying the Human-Computer-Interaction techniques that is innovated by the authors, a fact, which contributed to finding programs that can help public communities, especially the students of Archeology, to conduct analysis professionally and effortlessly. This program navigates through the archeological data in as many as three and four dimensions, thereby, contributing to the creation of an attractive new learning environment.
