8 tech innovations becoming standard in museums and heritage sites
Great to see our work recognised by Museums+Heritage site who cite our Anglo Sikh Virtual Museum work as being innovative.
“The concept of a ‘digital twin’ expands on object photography in 3D. Photogrammetry – the process of taking photos and volumetric data at once – allows for the creation of a virtual model which can be scanned and then exists in 3D space.
It’s a process benefitting the preservation of physical objects by freezing them in a moment in time a part of a digital archive. But it also allows for visitors to satisfy the urge to pick up and manipulate objects.”Firms such as London’s Form Capture offer onsite scanning of objects, and has worked with the likes of The British Museum – alongside Nike and Google – in creating 3D captures.
Also making use of this technique is the Anglo Sikh Museum’s collection of virtual objects, which can not only be rotated and moved in 3D within a browser but have ‘hotspots’ providing further information.
