Fantastic voyage again

Fantastic voyage again

I know I posted using that title last weekend. I hope I haven’t posted this video before. It’s from the SIGGRAPH conference. IMA solutions presents a “fly through” of a CT of a mummy. Although I do similar work, it’s nowhere near this good. At least the animation part.

  1. Oh my! Incredibly sophisticated treatment…the last couple of minutes are mind blowing. Did they really take us through the brain and spinal canal starting 6:50?

  2. Yes, that one. They explained the positioning of the artifacts, like the beetle, and brought together all aspects of the project..medicine, history, technology, etc.

  3. Excellent.  This is the ultimate interface between the public and a precious artifact.  When working briefly in a small museum with Native American artifacts quite a long time ago, the focus was always on achieving the difficult balance between the all-important preservation of the artifact while maintaining at the same time the authenticity of the museum visitors’ experience.  Thanks for this, I really needed an uplift today regarding my opinion of humanity.
