My PhD project for Nantes History Museum
During my PhD, I worked as a project manager for Nantes History Museum. The project aimed at promoting a 1899 scale model representing Nantes harbour. From 2011 to 2015, we worked on the knowledge database system, and the design of a dedicated augmented reality setup. The final setup is still visible within the Museum tour.
On the left, the scale model in its initial configuration, without any contextual information (except a 10-lines label). Right, an excerpt of the augmented reality system to provide contextual information while lighting up selected areas on the object itself.
