    Architectural historian Diane Favro and her team of researchers at UCLA work to create 3D digital models of ancient Rome and other historical locales. These models afford the viewer an unprecedented sense of “being there.” But what kind of historical knowledge can we gain from them, and how does such knowledge compare with that obtained through conventional historical research? Favro discusses the shifting, provocative future of digital histories.
