1 like422 views
The document outlines the development of an e-museum for Wat Makutkasattriyaram in Thailand, detailing the project's history and goals related to preserving Thai cultural heritage. It describes the applied technologies for creating 3D objects, including 3D laser scanning and photographic VR, along with the project's progress and future work. The e-museum aims to publicize knowledge and provide an online parallel to the physical museum.
