As we discussed above, the Virtual Hampson and Amarna Museums are intended for the general public as well as for scholars interested in studying the collection. After reviewing a range of options we decided that the primary mode for the general public to access the collections would be through the use of Adobe 3D-PDFs, though the other formats are also available. Adobe 3D PDFs were chosen because they have several advantages over the more traditional 3-D viewers. 3D PDFs are easily embedded into a webpage and are cross-browser and cross-platform compatible. Most online 3-D data viewers require the end user to download a plugin that will often only work in a desired platform/browser configuration (i.e. Internet Explorer on Windows). Instead Acrobat 3D is cross-platform (Mac and PC) and cross-browser compatible (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and others). 3D PDFs only require the user to have Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher. The online viewer might require the user to download the latest version of Adobe Reader. But, because it is a software with which they are likely to be familiar, it was assumed that the user would be more comfortable with this option as opposed to downloading a viewer from a third party. In addition, there are a number of advanced tools in Adobe Reader, including measurement and cross-sectioning. Finally, it retains the scale of the artefacts carried over from the digitisation process allowing end users to actively measure and perform cross-sections on the artefacts; a functionality that is currently unparalleled by any other free, 3-D viewing application. Going forward it is possible that emerging HTML5 based applications may replace the Acrobat 3-D viewer, but that is not true at this time.
