3D PDF skull restored

Hi,
today I review the post 3D PDF for archaeology, which had a broken link to the PDF file. The link is now restored (I took the time to check the data). If you download the PDF file and open it with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 (we still did not find an open source pdf reader able to visualiza u3d data), this is what you should see:


Sorry for the slow clip, but I had to virtualize Windows in ArcheOS (within Virtual Box) and the u3d file of the skull is too heavy to create a light 3D PDF file (it was just a first test).
I would like to thank the people who noticed the broken link. Their report was very helpful in reviewing ATOR old posts!

3D PDF for archaeology

Today I am preparing the presentation for the meeting in Ferrara (see the previous post), so I did some experiments with 3D PDF. I think this kind of documentation has good potentialities in archaeology. To test them I took some old data (the 3D skull done with Sfm and IBM techniques), I build the surface in Meshlab and with the same software I saved an u3d file. Then, with the help of Kyle, I wrote a (very) simple 3d document. The result is the image below. As you can see, to visualize my 3d PDF I had to virtualize Windows inside my VritualBox and run Adobe Reader. Up to now I did not find a pdf reader for Linux which is able to visualize u3d, so if you know one, please let me know...



Anyway, if you want to visualize the result, you can download the file here.
