Welcome to EITA-New Media 2013

(Barry Lam Hall, College of EECS, National Taiwan University)

The use of new media in the service of cultural heritage is known as virtual heritage. Virtual heritage is a mix of cultural heritage with information and communication technologies (ICT). The aim of the EITA-New Media 2013 is to explore the opportunities and challenges of using digital media in the research, preservation, management, interpretation, and representation of cultural heritage. The two-day conference brought together leading interdisciplinary scholars, artists, and media industry representatives to reflect on the nature of knowledge in the digital age.

We are pleased to invite you to attend the EITA-New Media 2013 and submit proposals for papers, panels, demonstrations, and SIG discussions. The Conference Review Policy requires that each proposal will be peer-reviewed by for inclusion in the conference program, and CD-ROM proceedings.
