Complementary techniques highlight the intentional use of anhydrite. Rare identification of the organic lichen dye, orchil in a manuscript. Alteration of organic black giving rise to calcium carboxylate and calcium oxalate.

The majority (approximately 200,000 books, dating from 15 th – 19 th century) are held on open shelves in the Long Room and Gallery. As well as being a research facility, the Old Library is an exhibition space, and a major tourist attraction as home to a renowned medieval manuscript (the Book of Kells, c.800). It is open to the public seven days a week, almost year-round.

Research paper thumbnail of Towards the Big Picture: Enriching 3D Models with Information Visualisation and Vice Versa

However, a variety of abstract datasets can indeed be related to, and hence enriched by, real-world aspects. In these cases an additional virtual representation of the 3D object can help to gain a better insight into the connection between abstract and real-world issues. We demonstrate this approach with two prototype systems that combine information visualisation with 3D models in multiple coordinated views. The first prototype involves the visualisation of in-car communication traces. The 3D model of the car serves as one view among several and provides the user with information about the car's activities. LibViz, our second prototype, is based on a full screen 3D representation of a library building. Measured data is visualised in overlaid, semi-transparent windows to allow the user interpretation of the data in its spatial context of the library's 3D model. Based on the two prototypes, we identify the benefits and drawbacks of the approach, investigate aspects of coordination between the 3D model and the abstract visualisations, and discuss principals for a general approach.

The remainder of this paper is organised as follows. In the next section we provide background information. Section 3 gives an overview of our preparatory work, while Section 4 describes the current state and Section 5 the evaluation of the application.We conclude in Section 6 and discuss further ideas that could make the application as useful as possible.
