Friday, February 2nd
9 am - 9:15 am: Opening Introduction, Hélène Huet
9:15 am - 10:45 am: 3D Data Acquisition and Dissemination, Eleni Bozia and Angelos Barmpoutis.
This workshop will furnish the participants with essential information and skills on 3D data acquisition and dissemination. Recent advances in image capturing and 3D scanning technologies along with their significant reduction in production costs brought to the general public handheld devices equipped with several useful sensors and data collection instruments. So in the course of this workshop, we will be demonstrating and using low-cost handheld 3D sensors (such as the Structure sensor by Occipital, Inc.) that can be mounted on portable electronic devices and produce accurate 3D scans of physical objects as well as other types of handheld 3D scanners. We will also demonstrate and discuss photogrammetry. We will then proceed to work on particular case studies and work on varied objects so as to explore the advantages as well as limitations of each method. Finally, the participants will discuss data resolution and compression, popular file formats, and web-based dissemination using webGL.
10:45 am - 11 am: Coffee Break provided
11 am - 12:30 pm: 3D Printing and Augmented Reality with Aurasma, Sara Russell Gonzalez.
Augmented reality (AR) and 3D printing are emerging technologies rapidly gaining adoption in academia because they open new opportunities to communicate and visualize information. 3D printing allows either the replication of an existing object or visualization of a new concept. Augmented reality overlays digital content, including 3D models, over the real world using smartphones, tablets, or headsets. This workshop will provide an introduction to these innovative technologies, identify key software, and provide examples for how you can incorporate 3D printing and AR into your research and teaching.
Attendees need to create an account at Aurasma (https://www.aurasma.com/) and install the HP Reveal app if they wish to follow along during the Augmented Reality portion of the workshop
12:30 pm - 2 pm: Lunch provided
2 pm - 3 pm: Best Practices for Project Management & Collaboration, Melissa Jerome
Successfully managing a research project requires effective planning. By understanding the fundamentals of project management you will be better prepared to position a project for success. This workshop will introduce you to project management basics that can help in planning your research by providing information on:
3:15 pm - 5 pm: Digital Project Showcase

Dr. Angelos Barmpoutis is currently an Associate Professor in the On-Line Institute and the Digital Worlds Institute at the University of Florida. He is also the coordinator of research and technology in the Digital Worlds Institute, and affiliate faculty of the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Department and the Biomedical Engineering Department, University of Florida. His current research projects focus on interdisciplinary applications of computer science and engineering to the service of the broad areas of learning and training. Prof. Barmpoutis areas of expertise include machine vision and applications, virtual reality in medicine and education, human motion capture and analysis using RGB-D cameras (such as Microsoft Kinect sensor), and image processing and visualization. Dr. Barmpoutis has coauthored numerous highly cited journal publications, conference articles and book chapters in the aforementioned topics, and has received several awards and grants from various funding agencies including the US National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Institutes of Health, and the US Department of Transportation.
Dr. Eleni Bozia is an Assistant Professor of Classics and Digital Humanities in the Department of Classics and the Digital Worlds Institute. Dr. Bozia brings her expertise in Imperial Greek and Latin literature, Ethnicity and National Identity Issues, and Digital Humanities. Dr. Bozia also serves as the Associate Director of the Center for Greek Studies and the Associate Director of the Digital Epigraphy and Archaeology Project. She also holds a Visiting Research appointment at the Universität Leipzig in Germany.
In the field of Digital Humanities Dr. Bozia works on digital preservation of artifacts, explores computer assisted methods for the enhanced analysis of languages, and promotes the bidirectional relationship between humanities and sciences.
Prof. Bozia is the recipient of collaborative grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Le ministère de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherché, the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenchaften, and several national and international awards including the Assistant Professor Excellence Award, the Young Researcher Fellowship from La Fondation Hardt, the e-humanities award from the Universität Leipzig, the Mary A. Sollman Scholarship of the American Academy in Rome, and the CIEGL Bursary from the University of Oxford.
Dr. Sara Gonzalez is the Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Visualization Librarian at the Marston Science Library at the University of Florida. A former geophysicist, her research interests include emerging technologies in libraries, modeling and visualization of data, and scientific literacy instruction. She coordinates the UF Libraries 3D service and co-authored the book “3D Printing: A Practical Guide for Librarians”.
Dr. Hélène Huet is the European Studies Librarian at the University of Florida. She holds a Ph.D in French and Francophone Studies from the Pennsylvania State University. At UF, Hélène oversees many international collections and collaborates on a variety of projects from creating exhibits to organizing conferences. She also helps facilitate undergraduate and graduate students’ research through library instruction sessions and workshops. As a digital humanist and the Vice-Chair of the Florida Digital Humanities Consortium (FLDH), a collective of institutions in Florida that seeks to promote an understanding of the humanities in light of digital technologies and research, she is particularly interested in studying how digital tools can help facilitate students and faculty’s research. Finally, as the Chair of the Collection Development Working Group of the Collaborative Initiative for French Language Collections (CIFNAL), she is currently overseeing the creation of a list of French and Francophone Digital Humanities projects. This list showcases the various digital projects on which scholars are working in the US as well as in France and Francophone countries and help foster new collaborations between scholars and institutions.
Melissa Jerome is the Project Manager for the Florida & Puerto Rico Digital Newspaper Project (FPRDNP) and is responsible for all the day-to-day activities for the project, which includes all technical and administrative activities related to the digitizing of the selected newspapers, maintaining communication with project partners and vendors, as well as overseeing and assisting with outreach activities and publicity efforts.
