Holographic museums

Digitalization for education and cultural heritage

Launched by the Holomouseio project, with the University of Lille, holographic mediation is a real opportunity for museums and scientific education spaces.

The digitalization of archaeological or scientific artefacts makes it easy to create applications to explain them, enhance their value and transmit knowledge to the public.

Early humans roaming Northern France

With the Inrap des Hauts-de-France, discover the life of the early settlers in Northern France trough the artefacts, sculptures and objects they left behind.

The Inrap is the french Institute for preventive archeologic research, looking for important remains and artefacts before a construction site starts building.

For this project of exhibition, the Inrap have digitzied a part of its collections thanks to photogrammetry technologies. This pieces are telling stories about the early humans roaming through the region during prehistoric times. This hundred thousand years long period left us traces of a rich culture of tool making, hunting and crafting in these hunter-gatherer societies.

Digitalization of “Le Pied de Croix de Saint-Bertin"

E.Thesaurus is based on the development of a methodology for the acquisition of goldsmith's items with a high level of detail and reflective elements. This method is based on a 3D photogrammetric reconstruction from images illuminated with cross-polarized light. The project includes a communication component aimed at the public and students via the holographic format.
Photogrammetry is a technique that consists of making measurements in a scene, using the parallax obtained between images acquired from different points of view.

The Impressionism movement. Renoir in "Musée Fournaise"

On the inconic place where the "Déjeuner des Canotiers" was painted, Renoir returns to present his life as an artist.

100 years after his disappearance, Renoir returns to Chatou at the Maison Fournaise.
He is embodied by a hologram on a human scale and recounts his first successes and his first setbacks in the world of Impressionist painting.
