What makes the Art Projects digitally powered by SCDS really unique
While all paintings are still in the artist's studio, the art gallery in Old Montreal scheduled the exhibition vernissage...
SCDS performed a cycloramic HD imaging, followed by a quick laser scan of the void gallery. Then full-size photographs of paintings were processed based on the metric information extracted from HDS data, and inputted into SCDS's tools for perspective transform and regeneration.
Finally, all paintings were digitally placed in the virtual gallery.
Visit the virtual gallery: once opened, for full-screen navigation, you can double-click on the gallery image, and then use the buttons displayed at the bottom of your screen.
Navigate into the metadataX project; you will experience an 'extremely visual' environment implementing a high-performance viewer for panoramic imaging and enhanced visualization through adaptive panoramic modes... Click here for login information and a quick start guide.
Enjoy the HD video tour of the virtual gallery...
