From the engraved tablet to the digital tablet, the story of a 15th century score

During the excavations of the Jacobins convent by the Inrap (RO G. Le Cloirec), about ten engraved schist tablets dating from the 15th century were discovered in the floor of the old refectory.

One of these tablets contains a musical score. This tablet has been analyzed using several 3D digital techniques by IRISA and Inria research center - Bretagne Atlantique.

Travel stories of the W8banaki and Huron-Wendat wampums.

3D Digital Methods for First Nations Cultural Heritage

Innovative 3D acquisition and characterization techniques were used to digitize, model, and virtually study two wampums (a set of beads made from shells by Northeastern Amerindians) donated by the Huron-Wendat and Abenaki First Nations to the Chartres Cathedral chapter at the end of the 17th century.
Study carried out as part of the ANR-FRQSC INTROSPECT project

Introspective study of an animal mummy

Over the past decade, thanks to the improved accessibility of new medical imaging technologies, research into the study of the animal mummies of ancient Egypt has made significant advances that have led to a better understanding of the history and culture of this civilization.
We have combined a medical imaging technique, computed tomography, with 3D augmented reality and 3D printing technologies to further the study of these types of mummies.
Study carried out within the framework of the ANR-FRQSC INTROSPECT project, in collaboration with the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes and the MAHES animal mummies study project of the Labex ARCHIMEDE.

From 3D scanning to virtual excavation

Thanks to technical advances in 3D scanning and virtual reality, we have succeeded in offering a virtual excavation system, allowing to study artifacts in a non-destructive way. For example, we were able to study a funerary urn through CT scan data and virtual reality interaction.
