Short description:
The project ‘Sgraffito in 3D’ has made the late medieval pottery collection of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen accessible to a larger audience through 3D reconstruction. Visitors could touch, take-up and manipulate 3D-printed replicas. A 3D-archive let visitors play with digital representations of our cultural heritage, which were also available for research and downloading online.
Augmented Reality installations offered visitors tactile interaction and direct visual access to background knowledge of the valuable cultural objects exhibited safely behind glass.
