Hi Dave,
You might consider using Augmented Reality technology that would
enable you to add 3D models, graphics etc to a diorama when viewed
through a mobile device. The 3D models could be animated characters,
objects or info. I can imagine that being a diorama, it would not be
too difficult to capture visual reference points from which you could
overlay these virtual elements.?
I am currently developing something like this for a project with the
US National Park Service's Network to Freedom Program at a site called
New Philadelphia in the State of Illinois.?The project will place
several virtual 3D reconstructed Civil War Era houses and other period
details in their original locations. Visitors will be able to visit
and tour the site (which is now an empty field) and view a 3D
representation of the town through their mobile devices. If you are
interested, I'd be happy to tell you more about the project.?Best,

Subject:[MCN-L] Dioramas for the 21st century
Hi folks,
I am investigating ways of using technology to bring dioramas (and
room
sets) to life (using projection mapping, peppers ghost, moving
objects, 3d
printing etc) and wondered if anyone is either working in this area
or have
come across interesting examples that they could share with me.
Thanks in anticipation
