In preparation for the 2004 Olympic Games hosted by Greece, the FHW,
a cultural heritage institution based in Athens, is developing an
accurate 3D reconstruction of the site of Olympia as it used to be
in antiquity. If access to a high-performance network were available,
the FHW’s museum could serve as a center of excellence, delivering
educational and heritage content to a number of sites worldwide.
