Technical Notes

Assets use PBR materials, scale references, and section planes for scholarly review. Lossless zoom preserves tool-marks and pigment craquelure.

  • Formats: glTF/GLB; fallback web viewers.
  • Lighting presets: raking, diffuse, conservation-safe.
  • Accessibility: keyboard navigation, captions for hotspots.

Quick Facts

  • Modes: Orbit, walk, AR-ready
  • Layers: Provenance, pigments, annotations
  • Pair with: GeoStories

Learning Modules

  1. Spatial literacy: measure scale, volume, and layout.
