About The Discovery Programme
The Discovery Programme (www.discoveryprogramme.ie) is an independent and charitable institution concerned with advanced research on the archaeology of Ireland. The Discovery Programme has taken a leading role in the introduction to archaeology of new technologies and techniques including 3D digital documentation. Currently the Discovery Programme is a partner of the EU co-funded 3D-ICONS project (http://3dicons-project.eu/). This project aims to develop a 'pipeline', from 3D digitisation to dissemination, for architectural and archaeological monuments and buildings identified by UNESCO as being of outstanding cultural importance. The chosen candidate will participate in the creation of 3D photorealistic models derived from laser scanning, photogrammetry and other 3D data capture techniques and the creation of 3D models suitable for online presentation.
