Maaike Roozenburg uses augmented reality to create intelligent fakes #3DThursday #3DPrinting #3DScanning
Roozenburg has combined 3D scanning and printing with ceramic making techniques to create copies of fragile tea sets and other museum pieces.
Augmented reality markers are added to the objects, which, when read by a device like a smartphone or tablet, present information about the original artefact.
The combination of technologies will allow museum visitors to both handle identical objects to those kept behind glass and learn more about their history….
Working with Jouke Verlinden, an assistant professor in computer aided engineering at TU Delft, Roozenburg came up with the idea to lay the objects on a bed – like a patient in a hospital – and send the bed into a tomography scanner. This technique was secure enough for the museum to agree to let her handle objects from its collection, with the first project focusing on seven antique cups….
