VirtualAnthroPy is a prototype application for creating files for 3D visualization of physical anthropology data. From topographic points and associated data contained in a spreadsheet, the objective is to allow archaeo-anthropologists to explore in 3D images mapped on plans. In addition to these positions, text and colorizations are also possible in order to provide additional information.
