Title :
Conservation and preservation of heritage sites in Sri Lanka with virtual heritage
Abstract :
In the context of cultural heritage in Sri Lanka there are many such sites which have been preserving the national pride as well as beauty for the people of the world. Apart from natural causes, many development projects and intentional human actions destroy those cultural heritages. The government authorities are actively participating to repair and refurbish the ancient monuments. Techniques of virtual reality can be introduced to recreate images of ancient artifacts in their original forms
