Learning outcomes
The course aims to introduce students to contemporary methods of digital documentation, analysis, and presentation of cultural heritage. It emphasizes a critical approach to historical sources and their application in digital reconstruction. Students will gain hands-on experience with digitalization processes and the creation of original 3D visualization scenes.
Graduates will be able to critically analyze and interpret various historical sources for the purposes of digitization and digital reconstruction of vanished objects and landscapes. Students will gain a theoretical overview of the mining history in the Ore Mountains region and understand the specifics of post-industrial landscapes and the challenges of cultural heritage relocation. Graduates will be familiar with digital documentation procedures, including the principles of photogrammetry and laser scanning, and will be able to select appropriate methods for specific heritage types. Students will be able to independently process acquired data, create digital 3D models, and design 3D scene visualizations for the effective presentation and interpretation of cultural heritage to both professional and general audiences.
Prerequisites
None

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Students will demonstrate the ability to independently identify and analyze historical sources related to specific sites in Northwest Bohemia. They will be able to design a fundamental digitalization or 3D reconstruction project for a selected object, locality, or cultural-historical phenomenon. Finally, students will professionally interpret and present their findings through a digital output.
