In March 2021 our experts at Fraunhofer IGD 3D-scanned nine artefacts from the Natural History Museum Berlin. These objects were challenging for 3D digitization because of their complex surface geometry and materials.
Four of the scanned objects are presented below in web-ready 3D-viewer, augmented reality (only for iOs devices) and video rendering.
