Event Details

In this workshop, photogrammetry specialists will discuss the importance of preserving tribal cultural heritage through photogrammetry. Join them for hands-on training and learn how easy it is to archive diverse tribal objects and landscapes simply by taking a series of photos, whether via cellphone, DSLR, or video. In addition to the invaluable archiving data these images represent, they can also be rendered to create 3D models which can be used in all VR and AR technologies. Part 1 will focus on techniques for using cameras to capture heritage while part 2 will discuss the analytically based software tools that affords the creation of detailed 3D models and the options for education and display that such technology affords.

    Brian Pope

    Founder / Executive Director, The Arc/K Project

    Brian Pope, a writer, director, entrepreneur and philanthropist, founded The Arc/k Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, in early 2015. Pope seeks to harness and develop emerging technologies on behalf of pressing humanitarian issues. With these priorities in mind, he spearheaded the creation of this organization which helps societies in extremis digitally archive that which is too valuable, too important, or too unique to be lost or forgotten. The Arc/k Project was created to straddle the gulf between scientific archiving and activism.
