A BRAND NEW VIEWER TEMPLATE

OpenSpace3D now provides you with a new project template (images above), made for and with the support of the “Consortium 3D SHS de la TGIR Huma-Num”.

Located in the OpenSpace3D/assets/templates/viewer_archeo folder, you just need to import it into your scene to benefit from ideal interfaces and tools for any 3D object observation and analysis. Measurement tools, annotations, cut plane and materials editing are only part of the features offered by this template.

 

AN EXHIBITION WITH OPENSPACE3D

In September, we realized the exhibition “Explorations virtuelles de Mané er Groez, dolmen à Carnac” in collaboration with the LARA (“laboratoire de recherche en archéologie et architectures”) of Nantes, the “Musée de la Préhistoire James Miln – Zacharie Le Rouzic” of Carnac, the Groom Collective and the AUNA (“association universitaire nantaise d’archéologie”).

This exhibition took place at the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, in Nantes, and featured two applications made with OpenSpace3D. The first proposed to discover the site and its history in augmented reality, while the second offered a virtual tour of the site of Mané er Groez and highlighed the archaeological work done on site.
