Museums and the Web Conference

At Direct Dimensions we have been scanning precious art work, artifacts and gallery spaces for museums for years. Some of our earliest projects for museums included scanning sculptures to create miniature versions for giftshops or donors. Other major, early projects we did included scanning sculptures in the famous Cone Collection to be used in a virtual tour for the Baltimore Museum of Art and also scanning Matisse sculptures to support an exhibit, Matisse: Painter as Sculptor , also at the BMA.

It seems fitting then that the first time we attend the Museums and the Web Conference it would be held at the BMA.  The conference is an annual meeting that brings together educators, web developers, curators, scholars and more to discuss their research regarding digital practices and museums/cultural heritage. We are attending the this year to share different 3D scanning technologies that can be used by the museum industry.   3D imaging and modeling technologies provide museums with many options for documentation, conservation, and exhibit development, online user experiences, and quality replicas and merchandise. 
 
With more 3D scanning options than ever before, and new technology constantly being developed, it is a full time job just to know the right solution. Our digital modelers and 3D scanning experts are excited to share their knowledge and experience with the museum community.
