The Temple of Isis
A reconstruction of the Temple of Isis in the
Roman city of Pompeii as may have appeared in 79ad. Originally built
in 1995 by Nicole Jackson and many others, it has recently been
translated into a more efficient VRML model, by Veronica Polo. Isis
was actually part of a larger effort, the Virtual Pompeii Project at
the Studio for
Creative Inquiry (SFCI). Jeffery Jacobson was technical director
and project manager for the Pompeii project. The Temple of Isis and
(later) Virtual Pompeii showed at the
DeYoung Museum in San Francisco in October-January 1995/96. See
here for some
historical background, some
screenshots and the long
list of credits.
To view Isis in VRML, you need to install a plug-in for your web
browser (Try either
Cosmo or
Cortona.) Then click here,

for non-commercial purposes.
