I'm involved in research about the prehispanic architecture. I like to begin with the survey of the archaeological site, trying to improve these methods to find a more precise and faster way to do it, merging different techniques, total station, photogrammetry, 3D scan when I get money. After that we build the corresponding 3D model, analyze the structures and sometime we virtually rebuild the place at its original state.

We have done virtual reality models and in 2004, I built the first virtual reality space of Latin America. It's name is ixtli, an aztec name. It has a big curved screen 3 meters high by 9m.
