It will be DH Friday on October 11 when we host Smith College’s Andrew Maurer who will give two hands-on workshops on 3D Visualization for the Humanities:
- Photogrammetry Basics (9:00am-12:00pm) – Photogrammetry, the process of using still images to produce digital 3D models, provides new possibilities for visualizing and interpreting cultural objects. In this hands-on workshop, participants will create their own 3D model, learning best practices for achieving consistent, high-quality results. (Example: a 3D rosary bead from a Smith College project.)
- Building a Virtual Gallery (1:30-4:30pm) – 3D virtual galleries provide new ways to tell interactive stories about cultural objects and places. Participants will use free tools to create an immersive 3D virtual gallery space in which to present 3D models. A case study of a larger-scale project from the Smith College Imaging Center will also be presented, along with practical tips and considerations for planning and implementing similar projects.
Seats are limited so sign up now! Note that no previous experience is required. When you RSVP, please specify if you are attending the morning or afternoon workshop, or both. Will send a list of things to bring and links to documents and software you will need in the near future.
