More than hype – understanding heritage in 3D: Nick Poole (The Collections Trust)
The document discusses how 3D technologies can be used to enhance understanding and experiences of cultural heritage. It provides examples of 3D scanning and printing being used for conservation, research, accessibility, management of collections, and commercial opportunities like reproductions. While the technologies provide opportunities, challenges include integration, digital preservation, and ensuring the focus remains on content over the medium. Overall, 3D methods are becoming more established and can enrich both management of heritage and visitor experiences when the right format is chosen for the intended audience.
