3D Scanning in Museums
Digital Roman Portrait Project
This project sought to create an online catalogue for Roman portraits in the Michael C. Carlos Museum and the Eskenazi Museum of Art. We catalogued over 30 Roman portraits digitally. This project was handed off to the development staff at the museum after the creation of the 3D models.*
*N.B. This was a collaborative project. Many models I created are featured on the page below; you can click on a model to see its full metadata.
Digital Uffizi Digitization Project
The Virtual World Heritage Laboratory (VWHL), in collaboration with partners at the Politecnico di Milano and the University of Florence, is digitizing in 3D digitization the complete collection of Greek and Roman sculpture in the Uffizi, Pitti Palace, and Boboli Gardens on behalf of the Gallerie degli Uffizi.*

Digital Villa Ludovisi Project
The project aimed to digitize the Casino dell’Aurora, its surrounding gardens, and the sculpture. The project was a paper for the College Art Association and foresees the creation of a related scientific, free website offering access to the site, in collaboration with Emory.*

3D Scanning on Archaeological Excavations
Digital House on the Caelian Hill
This project aims to create a diachronic, digital model of the architecture and finds for the site. The georeferenced, scaled 3D model will simply be a tool to visually record, analyse, and study how the building and its finds and interior decor changed over time.
Digital House of Marcus Lucretius
In the summer of 2017, our team completed the first round of digitization of the house itself. In the summer of 2018, we completed another round of photogrammetry, and digitized the sculpture from the garden currently located in the Pompeii Deposito. Please see the initial results of these campaigns below.
Digital Villa Oplontis Project
The project's goal was to digitize sections of the Villa of Oplontis in Pompeii in collaboration with the excavation team from UT Austin. So far, we have digitised over half of the villa and used the model to analyse viewsheds and previous sculpture arrangements.
Further Projects
Digital Minturnae Project
This project aimed to scan fragments in storage, and recreate the sculptural programmme of the ancient temple.
Digital Resting Satyr Project
This project aimed to compare the sculptural details of the Resting Satyr sculpture type and publish the results via an online website.
Reconstructing Old St. Peters
This project aimed to recreate a courtyard display in Old St. Peters, and consider the value of reconstruction for art history more broadly.
