Digitally Preserving Ancient Artifacts
Research Assistant
I scanned colonial artifacts at the Independence Living History Center. My work was some of the first of its kind to revolutionize a slow, outdated process of cataloguing ancient artifacts, as well as opened up an opportunity to create virtual interactive exhibits with our 3D scans.
The core of my work revolved around mastering a non-contact 3D laser scanner to scan and digitally preserve ancient artifacts. As seen above, I scanned a fossilized skeleton of the 65 Million-year-old Thoracasaurus. The scans were then used to reconstruct the extinct crocodylian in 3D by Drexel graduate student Evan Boucher. A "Paleo-art" project which won the National Geographic Lanzendorf PaleoArt Prize for Digital Modeling and Animation from the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology.
