Beyond simplistic 3D visualisations, archaeologists, as well as cultural heritage experts and practitioners, need applications with advanced functionalities. Such as the annotation and attachment of metadata onto particular regions of the 3D digital objects. Various approaches have been presented to tackle this challenge, most of which achieve excellent results in the domain of their application. However, they are often confined to that specific domain and particular problem. In this paper, we present ART3mis - a general-purpose, user-friendly, interactive textual annotation tool for 3D objects. Primarily attuned to aid cultural heritage conservators, restorers and curators with no technical skills in 3D imaging and graphics, the tool allows for the easy handling, segmenting and annotating of 3D digital replicas of artefacts. ART3mis applies a user-driven, direct-on-surface approach. It can handle detailed 3D cultural objects in real-time and store textual annotations for multiple complex regions in JSON data format.

翻译：超越简单的三维可视化，考古学家、文化遗产专家及从业者需要具备高级功能的应用。例如在三维数字对象的特定区域进行元数据的标注与附加。已有多种方法被提出以应对这一挑战，其中大多数在其应用领域取得了优异成果。然而，这些方法往往局限于特定领域和具体问题。本文提出ART3mis——一个通用、用户友好、交互式的三维对象文本标注工具。该工具主要面向不具备三维成像与图形技术背景的文化遗产保护者、修复者及策展人，使其能够便捷地处理、分割和标注文物的三维数字复制品。ART3mis采用用户驱动的表面直接标注方法，能够实时处理精细的三维文化遗产对象，并以JSON数据格式存储多个复杂区域的文本标注信息。
