Digital projects
museum4punkt0 – 3D visualization
In this project, we test and evaluate, among other things, various forms of 3D digitalisation in the VRlab and in the 3D scan lab. In an exchange with visitors, we also explore how digital storytelling can be used meaningfully with the help of new technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
