The Met Releases High-Definition 3D Scans of 140 Famous Art Objects: Sarcophagi, Van Gogh Paintings, Marble Sculptures & More

We can go through most of our lives holding out hope of one day seeing in reality such works as van Gogh's Sunflowers, Monet's Haystacks, a clay tablet containing actual cuneiform writing with our own eyes, or the ancient Egyptian Temple of Dendur.

VRTAKAYAN이 XGRIDS L2 Pro로 아스카야마 공원을 스캔해 VRChat에서 언제나 같은 방식으로 떨어지지 않는 눈 효과와 함께 워크스루 가능한 가상 환경으로 재현한 사례입니다. XGRIDS L2 Pro 기반 3D 스캔(라이다/포토그래메트리 계열)과 VR 결합을 통해 현실 공간을 몰입형으로 재현한 혁신적 애플리케이션 사례로, 장소 보존·체험형 콘텐츠 제작에 활용될 수 있습니다.
