The workshop will bring together experts in a range of topics related to
the study of, and interaction with, three-dimensional museum objects and
their replicas.
We will be exploring, in particular, the way in which 3D sensing,
digital modelling and the production of replicas can support and enhance
our study and interpretation of 3D objects. The public's perception and
they ways in which people interact with these objects will also be
considered.
Our guest speakers will present the state-of-the-art of research in
these fields and discuss best practices for the choice of suitable,
affordable and impactful solutions. The workshop participants will be
asked to work together and issue a ‘creative challenge’ to design and
produce objects inspired by a selection of polychrome wooden sculptures
in the Fitzwilliam Museum collection, which will be advertised to
members of Cambridge’s Community Workshop MakeSpace

and more broadly, to interested industrial and academic parties.
The afternoon session, held at the Fitzwilliam Museum, will include a
hands-on 3D scanning exercise, for which participants are invited to
bring their own device (camera or phone).
*Participation to the workshop is free. However, spaces are limited and
must be booked in advance at *
