Summer week 9
Hello, readers! Welcome back for my week nine update on my summer internship at the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center (BVMC). This week, Eric and I had the exciting opportunity to work with some advanced 3D scanning technology. We used high tech scanners from UCF called the Artec Spider. These scanners are a significant investment, costing around $24,000, so we were keen to see how their capabilities compared to the other methods we've been using. A major advantage of the Artec Spider is its ability to create very detailed high quality scans on the fly. While we performed the initial scans in real-time this week, in the future, we plan to scan the objects and then create the full, high-quality models on a more powerful computer back home. This method provided excellent results in terms of quality. However, considering the cost and complexity, we will likely focus on training the museum staff on how to use the KIRI mobile app. KIRI is a free and user-friendly application, making it ...
