Scanning priceless artifacts in 3D at Museum of the Nation in Lima, Peru

Summary: The museum needed to scan a range of important artifacts for an upcoming presentation on augmented reality and museography for the Qhapaq Ñan (Great Inca Road) project.

The Goal: To use a lightweight, handheld 3D scanner and digitally capture in high detail a range of ancient artifacts and then export these for use in a 3D virtual palace.

Tools Used: Artec Eva, Artec Studio

Eva has been used to scan a total of 15 ceramic, stone and wooden artifacts at the Museum of the Nation in the Peruvian capital of Lima.

The models will be featured in the museum’s presentation on augmented reality and museography to be held through the Qhapaq Ñan (Great Inca Road) project during the Qhapaq Ñan week on November 3-8 and sponsored by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture. Most of them will be used for a 3D reconstruction of an Inca palace at Tambo Colorado, an adobe complex near Peru’s Pacific coast.
