the original research data to the public
and providing tools enabling learning and exploration is an exciting and
challenging scientific adventure that
creates many new research opportunities involving not only computer
science as enabling technology but
also learning and communication,
social science studies, and domain-specific areas from which the objects
of study originate.

a wider group of domain experts, as
well as non-experts. The second main
production bottleneck is the process
of closely linking any scientific or curatorial findings with the process of
interpretation and exhibit production.
The envisioned solution will thus support the whole chain, from scientific
data collection and documentation of
scientific discoveries, design, and interpretation of the information into non-linear stories, to production of end-user applications for exhibits. Figure 8
outlines how we refined, curated, and
annotated the data, though the original data is the basis of every step in the
process of developing the visitor experience in the gallery.
We have also taken initial steps to
explore other opportunities offered by
the digitization of museum artifacts,
including laser scanning and photogrammetry, employed for the mummy
of Neswaiu, as in Figure 9, and also 3D
printing technologies of the scanned
data. For example, the amulet of
Neswaiu, still present within the mummy wrappings and behind glass, can
now be physically reproduced in high-resolution detail through a process of
digital virtual extraction (see Figure
10). Visitors can clasp and feel it and
explore it physically, even though the
mummy has never been unwrapped.
What does this development mean
for the future of science visualization
at public venues? One important aspect of sharing visualizations with the
public may be authenticity of the science and resulting data. The public
can interact with and explore the real
underlying data, taking the visitor experience to a new level of engagement.
The scientific story can be embedded
in the interactive narrative on the table
using points of scientific interest and
told through the framing of the table
installation with additional information about the process, from scan to
installation.
Conclusion
Our findings demonstrate that science
visualization has the potential to narrow the gap between the general public and research, as it allows scientists
and curators to share the methods used
to interpret and analyze the collections
with visitors (such as determination of
the age and sex of a mummy). Bringing
