Posted to the SIMcast blog on February 14:
The website UNews.ca recently posted an article on the 3D Model Archive project currently being taken on by me and a number of other Dalhousie students.
As part of this project, SIM student Riel Gallant is now working on the 3D digitization of a number of objects from the Dalhousie Libraries’ Archives, while SIM student Amy Lorencz will soon be developing a method for cataloguing the 3D models created through this project and adding them to the Dalhousie Libraries’ 3D Model Repository.
Outside of SIM, Masters of Engineering student Gautam Chawla has also joined our team as a 3D Digitizer, while International Masters of Business Administration student Hugo Be Touze has come on board as a Researcher, bringing with him his extensive marketing experience.
Right now we are digitizing and cataloguing a large selection of marine biology related items from the Thomas McCulloch Museum, in addition to the Dalhousie Archives’ objects Riel is focusing on. Next we plan to proceed to the 3D digitization of on-campus artwork and human-anatomy related models and specimens.
