Establishing a 3D-digitisation process in the context of interactive museum applications - a case study
In cooperation with the Leipzig Museum of Natural History a scanning system will be established to enable the museum to digitise large parts of its collection, despite financial restraints.
Various methods (structured light scanning, photogrammetry, laser scanning) are being evaluated - especially regarding personnel capacities - and groups of objects that are suitable for the different recording methods will be defined. The aim is to determine a workflow that enables the archiving of three-dimensional objects, even for small museums with limited budgets, and to establish a procedure from acquisition to archiving for various purposes.
Digital copies will be made accessible in a web-based, annotated form and processed in an educational context. For example, 'reviving' preserved insects to illustrate movement sequences or enlarging exhibits for detailed viewing and to be able to look at them from all sides. The plan is to develop a programme that will make it possible to curate one's own exhibitions in a participatory manner and to share and further develop knowledge content.
cura3D has more than ten years of experience in the development of participative museum applications as well as in the acquisition of three-dimensional exhibits. Based on this experience and our core product, intuitive exhibition planning software (used in large European museums such as the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and the Kunstmuseum Basel), we are trying to establish a process that sustainably links the acquisition of three-dimensional objects with the museum didactic use.
