This is basically PR for the two partners involved but it has a great photo of one of the mastaba reconstructions.
This partnership will enable real-time virtual reconstruction of the Giza plateau based on actual archaeological data. The collaboration between technology and archaeology will result in new forms of scientific inquiry and communication. Virtual archaeology, using the power of scientific simulation tools and 3D immersive experiences, raises new questions, offers new hypotheses and allows us to simulate them in virtual environments. “These tools and approaches offer new dimensions to Egyptological research, allowing for innovation and enhanced knowledge sharing,” said Peter Der Manuelian. “In Dassault Systèmes we found a company partner devoted to both scientific accuracy and technological creativity.”
