Abstract

This paper contributes to the cross-domain mutual enrichment between archaeology and virtual reality. We are presenting here Immersia, an open high-end platform dedicated to research on immersive virtual reality and its usages. Immersia is part of the European project Visionair that offers an infrastruc¬ture for high level visualisation facilities open to research communities across Europe. In Immersia, two projects are currently active on archaeological themes. One is relative to the study of the Cairn of Carn, with the Creaah, a multidisciplinary research laboratory of archeology and archeosciences, and the other concerns the reconstitution of the Gallo-Roman villa of Bais, with the French institute Inrap.
