  • Description: In this work, we present a workflow for semi-automatic extractionof geo-references and motion events from the book 'The Travelsof Marco Polo'. These are then used to create 3D renderingsof the space and movement which allows readers to visually traceMarco Polo's route themselves to provide the exprience of the entiretyof the journey
