Conservation technologies
Examining a Roman marble relief panel using haptic technology
Conservation Technologies is actively researching and developing new technology, which can bring benefits to conservation and the study of sculpture. Virtual Reality Touch Technology (Haptics), allows a person to ‘feel’ the 3D digitized model of a sculpture. This technology is being used to produce new, tactile and interactive displays for exhibition and educational uses.
