A mammoth, woolly rhino and a medieval village: the unexpected treasures beneath the A14 - great to see some very old friends getting recognition for their excellent archaeology - close to my daily commute https://t.co/vzpb6ak6g1

[Dr Jennifer Wexler @JWexlerBM]

Fab! Lots of @britishmuseum 3D models of netsuke @NRousmaniereBM @RyokoM822 - the inspiration for manga here: https://t.co/MgNC8sFVDu

Fantastic couple of days down in Norwich. Superb lecture by @AmbKoji, dinner with the Lord Mayor and projections on the walls of the castle last night. Then today’s amazing #DigitalJapan talks and mini-festival! Well done all involved 🙌

Now up @DEJPett speaking about @FitzMuseum_UK impressive Japanese collections & digital possibilities #digitaljapan

[Dr Jennifer Wexler @JWexlerBM]

A lot of @PaolaDiFranco2 work has been making 3D replicas of the headdresses from Star Carr @MAACambridge, allowing people to engage & experiment with these mysterious objects. Here's a 3D gypsum version @ThinkSee3D.

[Dr Jennifer Wexler @JWexlerBM]

Fascinating talk @PaolaDiFranco2 about using 3D prints as "digifacts" to create new ways of experiencing museum objects. #digitaljapan

[Global Perspectives @GlobalBritArch]

For today's #digitaljapan festival, follow @DEJPett's live tweeting.

Now moving onto engagement with a digital 3D model via device. Has a different experience as well. Still a chance to explore, but in a different way. Then moves onto playful engagement with objects.

[Daniel Pett @DEJPett]

Now discussing the barrier of glass to museum visitors interaction with an object. The 3D print allows a different form of engagement - experimental, meaningful, engaged.

[Daniel Pett @DEJPett]

Paola's work fits in very well with the project we kicked off @FitzMuseum_UK this week on 3d training and tactile learning (and indeed do not touch experiences). She videoed people interacting with the 3D media, gesture tracking, engagement levels.

[Daniel Pett @DEJPett]

The next #digitaljapan talk is from @PaolaDiFranco2 of Essex University speaking about 3D, Star Carr head dress, @MAACambridge.

[Daniel Pett @DEJPett]

Then turning to the Why we post project from UCL. https://t.co/pGxbOXoNpM for more information. The online OA books have had 1/2 million downloads in the time of the project. 5 week @FutureLearn mooc had 12k active learners.

A bit info on Laura's research https://t.co/G8b56FUMZ5 Looking at health, aging and the smartphone. In Japan 26.7% pop over 65. In UK 18% over 65. Life exp. 80 ♂ for 86 ♀ Low birth rate.

[Daniel Pett @DEJPett]

Now on @LauraLHK from UCL/Osaka universities on smart phones and smart aging in Japan. #digitaljapan

[Daniel Pett @DEJPett]

Next at #digitaljapan is @coates_jamie from Sheffied Uni Anthropology on his brilliant film works "communicating chinatown".
