Digitizing the Past: Should Museums Convert Artifacts Into 3D Models?
<p>Museum collections hold treasures that whisper stories of the past, offering glimpses into diverse cultures and times. But these precious objects face a constant threat: deterioration. Light, temperature, humidity, and even human interaction can contribute to their decay, raising a critical question: how can we best preserve these irreplaceable pieces for future generations?</p>
<p>One increasingly explored solution is <strong>preventive conversion</strong>: meticulously capturing objects in digital form through 3D modeling and high-resolution photography. This creates a virtual twin, safeguarding vital information even if the physical object suffers damage.</p>
