Show HN: The Tomb of Nefertari [QV 66] Guided Virtual Tour I 3d scanned the Tomb of Nefertari and am building this guided virtual tour, trying to bring in photogrammetry of artifacts that I've made at various museums. It crashes sometimes still on mobile devices. I wasn't able to take photogrammetry photos of the artifacts from the tomb in the Museo Egizio in Turin because they were traveling while I was there (and now the museum is closed to install a new roof anyhow), so I tried to include comparanda from other museums where I had scanned artifacts. I tested the same dataset with 3d Gaussian Splatting but that had lower resolution results for great complexity in frontend code and reduced performance on older devices. [3DGS tour: https://ift.tt/o49Qe5k... ] Moving forward, if anyone's working on the same idea, I didn't find a good path to monetization through web-based 3d content, so I'll take the high resolution photogrammetry of spaces into Unreal and switch to desktop and headset builds. For the distribution advantage of web-based 3d content, I'm hoping to test next a desktop or VR build that may be easier to sell to sustain my work. https://ift.tt/PHCjRZ5 June 25, 2024 at 08:18PM
