Keiga’s Deshima: a 3D story of a 2D painting

Within NMVW 3D scans were used in 3D applications, showing almost the entire object, but never telling the whole story. By setting higher standards for scanning new ways of telling our story became possible. We developed a story telling solution including 3D models, AR, video and audio to tell the many story’s enclosed in one of our masterpieces: Keiga’s Bay of Nagasaki. A tool that offers content that can be explored on a visitors phone by scanning the original masterpiece, but can also be used to prepare your visit at home or discover more after your visit.
