The Affordances of 3D and 4D Digital Technologies for Computerized Facial Depiction

摘要: 3D digital technologies have advanced rapidly over recent decades and they can now afford new ways of interacting with anatomical cultural artefacts. Such allow for interactive investigation visible or non-observable surfaces, haptic generation content tactile experiences physical representations. These interactions technical advances often facilitate the knowledge through interdisciplinary sympathetic approaches.Scientific public understanding anatomy are enhanced by clinical imaging technologies, surface scanning techniques, modelling methods fabrication systems. seen as non-invasive scientists, artists to become active investigators in visualisation of, interaction with, human anatomy, remains histories.Face Lab is a Liverpool John Moores University research group that focuses on creative face research; specifically further development computerized craniofacial depiction system, utilizing facial analysis identification forensic investigation, historical figures archaeological interpretation.This chapter explores affordances such non-destructive production depiction, case-study based exploration Face workflow.
