Maeshowe and its environment in 3D

• a VRML model of the back wall, including an video texturing on the back wall and blocking stone of the reappearing sun light on Jan. 12^th, 2000.

You need the Cortona VRML client for playing the RealPlayer file in this world (it is not very good in rendering, I think, but it plays RealPlayer files, so it seems you can't have everything in the VR-world;-).
• a model of the Maese Howe passage and chamber

This model of Maeshowe has been made by using VRML (around 60 kByte). The model is not yet finished (the roof of the chamber and the left recess are missing), but it is a start for seeing if such a 3D model is useful.
The passage is blocked by the blocking stone and the first part of the passage is lower than seen at present days (but perhaps more aligned to the ideas of Gibb/Reijs). One is able to navigate between the blocking stone and the lowered ceiling if one knows how to do it;-).
• a model of the Maeshowe henge

This model is made using VRML (around 25 kByte).
• a model of the combination of Stenness and Hoy region

This model is made using VRML (around 250 kByte). Adjustments have been made for terrestrial refraction at Hoy part of the 3D world.
