DigitalHERITAGE 2018 runs 5 days and explores digital innovation and challenges across 4 heritage domains:

Built Heritage, Artifacts & Collections, Libraries & Archives, Intangible Culture & Traditions

and across 3 broad groups of digital technology: Reality Capture (digitization, scanning, remote sensing, …) Reality Computing (databases & repositories, KM, GIS, CAD, 3DCG, authoring, archives, …) Reality Creation (VR, AR, MR, games, visualization, multimedia, 3Dprinting, embodiment, …)
