VIENNA.- As far back as the Copper Age our
ancestors viewed
“films” in an open air cinema setting – and, moreover, in 3D with
surround
sound. This conclusion arises from the discovery of sites containing
prehistoric
rock engravings, which provided an audio-visual experience to people
from the
time of Ötzi, the prehistoric iceman, to that of Roman Emperor Augustus.
The
largest European concentration of these engravings can be found in
Valcamonica
in Northern Italy. St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences is part of a

Cambridge led international project that uses the latest digital media
technologies to bring to life the closest experience prehistoric peoples
had to
cinema.
