When it comes to archaeological research, artifact analysis and museum curation, 3D models generated through photogrammetry can be used to allow for hands-on museum experiences and accessibility for visually impaired visitors.
Junior anthropology major Annelise Witcher and anthropology professor Andrew Gurstelle created 3D models of Lam Museum objects to create interactive and accessible museum exhibits. Witcher plans to pursue a career in museum curation.
“Working with the objects and bringing them to life through photogrammetry has been such a rewarding experience. Not only did I gain a deeper understanding of the objects and their cultural significance, I was able to adjust the models to allow for greater accessibility and interactiveness,” said Witcher.
