Lewis & Clark Signature Event
By Prof. Jeff Clark's group using CHPC
With financial support from the
Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation, the North Dakota State University
Archeology Technologies Laboratory (ATL) utilized the CHPC to reconstruct the On-A-Slant Mandan Village using Virtual Reality technology. The remains of On-A-Slant village are located near Mandan, N.D., on the grounds of the Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park.
The On-A-Slant Virtual Village employs state-of-the-art 3D computer visualizations that immerse viewers in the past and provide them with a means to travel through time and walk through the site as it existed historically.
The resulting 3D stereoscopic documentary film premiered at North Dakota's bicentennial celebration of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery expedition (1804-1806). The event, entitled "Circle of Cultures, Time of Renewal and Exchange", was held in October 2004. (more...)
