Then, after much trial and error, we successfully chose the cover of the ONE-MA3 field guide for our image target (the image that our 3D model projects above). In the end, we chose the column with the wall to use for our augmented reality. Some of my other group mates had modeled a tree stump, a fire extinguisher, a stone pedestal, and a stone column next to a wall. Originally, I had tried to do photogrammetry on an intricate chair, which was not successful (the intersecting wooden bars in the chair were not distinguishable by the camera and therefore came out mottled in the final 3D reproduction). In my own group, the first step was to decide which 3D model of ours we would use. With a new mindset regarding the exciting possibilities of the intersection between technology and displaying cultural heritage, it was our turn to create our own augmented reality using various applications of software. But based on the lecture from today, there is an entire new world to discover when it comes to displaying that cultural heritage digitally and sharing it with the world using constantly-advancing technology that becomes more powerful every day. Before this trip, I had always wondered what would happen once archeologists had dug up and discovered all of the artifacts and cultural heritage on this planet until none was left to find. He fully explained his project of incorporating ideas and details based on video game designs to captivate the attention and interest of audiences when it comes to exhibitions of cultural heritage.

Before that though, we gained some additional augmented reality wisdom from Ricardo Antonino, a cinema and media engineer involved in creating an interactive and visual archeological exhibition in the Museo Egizio (Egypt Museum) in Turin, Italy. Today, we put those skills to the true test by using some of our 3D models in augmented reality. In the past week we have learned about the processes involved in creating 3D models of objects using photogrammetry and practiced it in the field (the castle grounds, to be exact).
