Nectec to showcase its achievements
The National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre (Nectec) hosts NECTEC-ACE 2008, its annual conference and exhibition, today and tomorrow at the Centara Grand Ladprao Hotel where visitors will be able to view HRH Princess Sirindhorn’s IT projects such as e-learning.
Thai classical dance performances from the Lanna Kingdom have been added to Nectec’s digital archive by applying 3D techniques.
Exhibits include an Open Source zone, offering consulting services around open source software and solutions, while a Lab Promotion zone will show Thai researchers’ engineering and IT projects. An Industrial Linkages zone will be the stage for entrepreneurs to search for products, technologies and grants for product development.
A display entitled “Digitised Thailand: Towards the Digital World,” will show Nectec’s knowledge-based digital content research projects highlighting Thai-style exercising for health treatment or rue-see-dad-ton. Under Unesco’s Memory of the World programme, of which Nectec is a board member, medicinal inscriptions at Wat Pho have been registered, and this will also be featured.
According to Nectec director for Knowledge Elicitation and Archiving Laboratory Dr Chularat Tanprasert, archiving the rue-see-dad-ton in a digital format would help to promote Thai-style exercising.
Nectec’s development team has combined technologies of 3D, motion capture and video editing creating the digital rue-see-dad-ton where, of a total of 127 actions of the exercise, some 15 have been digitised and the general public may learn these over the Internet, she said.
