NYTimes featured a side button (not an article) about the latest from Konica Minolta, a company specializing in the advancement of imaging. A couple of their latest projects caught my eye. The one I'm featuring in this post is the one about the Venus de Milo; taking beauty from art to a whole new level. This new invention takes looking at art and enhances it by combining computer technology and 3D imaging to bring out the detail and the unseen.
The advanced technology of the Non-Contact 3D Digitizer, developed by Konica Minolta. This digitizer uses a laser to scan the target object and then analyzes the reflected light to perform detailed measurement of the object's shape. This technology was used as the basis for a grand project in which the Venus de Milo was recreated in perfect 3D detail on a computer.
Their site features a video going into more detail and showing exactly what is happening with new imaging. The sights are spectacular.
