Abstract
This paper presents the emergence of VR/MR/XR/AR technology to augment the documentation and publication of archeological historical sites by faculty and students at Utah Valley University, Orem, USA. It presents the methodologies use to create virtual tours of the archeological site Beit Lehi in Israel and outlines the methodology to create 3D digitization of artifacts from this secure site. The paper outlines the use of virtual 360° photography and 360° videography by UVU faculty and students to produce digital artifacts to document the discoveries at the archeological site. Additionally, this paper outlines the nature of the constantly changing VR/MR/XR/AR platform and technologies.
