<em>We are lucky that you like the site, and I'm very pleased to meet you, Mr. Bishop! While studying "Provinzialroemische Archaeologie" at Freiburg, I (very) often had to work with your studies.</em><br>
<br>
Well I think <em>we</em> owe <em>you</em> a big 'thank you' for that site - a great example of what the web can be used for.<br>
<br>
<em>We plan to post an English localization of our site - but this will still take some time (no fear - the translation it is not my task). And we want to post the films as avi-files, so one can use windows media-player. It seems, the installation of the Quicktime-Player (Apple) is somehow too cirumstantial to some users.</em><br>
<br>
Windows - what's that? For Linux users like me AVIs are much friendlier than the many flavours of Quicktime. MPEGs are smaller for dial-up, though!<br>
<br>
<em>And we are in fact working and testing with realtime-engines to make interactive high-level-walkthroughs possible.</em><br>
<br>
Is this anything like the Marktbreit granary walkthroughs at the Rosenheim exhibition? I have only seen the stills in the catalogue but they looked very impressive - and those must be several years old now (I think they used the Quake II engine, but I could be wrong). Actually I am currently involved in a project that is looking into using such walkthroughs in a rather unusual way, so perhaps we need to talk ;-)<br>
<br>
<em>At the moment we work at a huge project - a high-end-visualization of the castrum of Aalen for the Limesmuseum Aalen, which will be shown in Autumn 2005.</em><br>
<br>
Gurgle, gurgle... !<br>
