Archeology is brought to life by e-Content. The Metopes of Selinunte CDROM allows virtual visitors today to enjoy a live experience of the Greek colony of Selinunte two thousand years ago. An exceptional graphic design makes the visit a memorable fact. It offers also an inside view on the complex process of scientific virtual reconstruction of archaeological relicts. A documentary video, interviews with the exponents of this work and interactive windows with the virtualized sculptures are fundamental to this rich-media cultural product. Renderings and 3D models created from reality, scientific articles, and text cover all facets. Spatial information provides an effective understanding of the site of the three Metopes of Temple C of Selinunte.
