Quote from Article"A team of 3D digital design students led by Steve Galbraith, curator of the Cary Collection, and Associate Professor Shaun Foster created 3D simulations of rare artifacts held within the Cary Collection to help expand teaching and research possibilities. Galbraith and Foster began creating 3D models of the collection’s artifacts in 2012 and hope that projects like this one, funded by a Breakthru Grant from the Rochester Regional Library Council, will help empower more people to learn about the history of graphic communication.
“Through virtual reality, users from all over the world could potentially have access to artifacts in the Cary Collection,” said Galbraith. “Scores of artifacts could have elements of interactivity that could help users better understand each artifact’s physical makeup, history and cultural significance. Virtual reality could also promote research by opening up new avenues of discoverability in libraries, archives and museums.” " |
