Discovering the Face
The Many Layers of Face Reconstruction
The human face as an identifying feature plays an important role in historical scholarship. Face reconstruction opens a window to the past. Through 2D and 3D methods, a skull from the pre-Columbian era is given a face. An animation explains the process from a scientific and design point of view.
