An early reconstruction model of Trajan's Forum was developed in 1996-1997 in conjunction with the J. Paul Getty Trust for an exhibition entitled 'Beyond Beauty: Antiquities as Evidence.' This clip illustrates the power of computer modeling by allowing the viewer to spiral around Trajan's Column and examine the sculpted scenes illustrating Trajan's campaigns in the Dacian Wars. The Urban Simulation Team at UCLA is a research group exploring applications for real-time visual simulation in architectural design, urban planning, emergency response, and education.
