"Once a Desert" exhibition at Chester Cathedral, bringing hidden beauty and rich history to light. Our involvement included meticulous cathedral scanning capturing the cathedral's grandeur and intricate details through precise 3D laser scanning, unveiling hidden connections and overlooked features. Working closely with Heinrich & Palmer, we transformed scanned data into stunning animations and high-speed films, aligning with the artists' vision and conveying the cathedral's historical narrative.
OR3D provided cutting-edge 3D laser scanning expertise for the "Once a Desert" exhibition at Chester Cathedral. We utilized state-of-the-art technology to capture precise data of the cathedral's interior, revealing its intricate features and hidden connections. Through our scans, we generated a detailed point cloud, forming the basis for immersive visuals and animations projected onto a suspended voile. Our skilled team processed the scan data to create high-quality visuals that accurately represented the cathedral's architecture and historical significance.
