sitting at my desk looking a three copies of a specimen. the physical specimen, a printed model, and a digital twin in augmented reality. what a time to be alive
You can also explore this specimen online! 🪸 3d.si.edu/object/3d/prim…
Long before it was 3D scanned, this Primnoa resedaeformis specimen was collected off the coast of Nova Scotia in the late 1800s! This slow-growing, long-lived cold-water coral is found in both sides of the Atlantic and is an indicator of vulnerable marine ecosystems.
Over 280 3d models of freshwater mussels available at 3d.si.edu/explore?edan_l… View them on all sorts of devices, in augmented reality, or print them - the world is your oyster! #ShellYeah
You can also explore a digitized model of this hard hat in 3D at: 3d.si.edu/object/3d/hard…
#OTD in 2001, the lives of nearly 3,000 individuals were taken when 4 commercial airliners were hijacked and used as terrorist weapons. In the days after the September 11th attack, the destroyed site of the World Trade Center buildings became known as 'Ground Zero.'
Make your mark on digital history at the Smithsonian! ✍️ All you need is a computer and an internet connection to participate. If interested, please contact ocio-dpo3d@si.edu to schedule a 30-45 minute session.
We’re back from our first time @saarchivists Annual Meeting in Chicago, where we were invited to participate on a panel with our @nmaahc and @gettymuseum colleagues to discuss our collaborative work on the Johnson Publishing Company photographic archive!
Applications for the Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP)are now open. Please spread the word and share widely! The deadline is October 15th, 2024. fellowships.si.edu/opportunity/sm…
25 new images to celebrate Chandra's 25th anniversary! Launched into space on July 23, 1999, Chandra continues to discover new phenomena and examine old mysteries from within our Solar System out to nearly the edge of the observable Universe. 🎉s.si.edu/Chandra25 #Chandra25
We're grateful for the footage, expertise and of course, the puns! Many thanks to @USFWS for highlighting our recent collaboration with @NMNH's Invertebrate Zoology historic collection of freshwater mussels!
Native freshwater mussels are one shell of a friend. These "livers of the rivers" help to indicate healthy aquatic systems. @SIxDIGI recently announced an exciting collaboration to digitize over 45,000 specimens in their historic collection of freshwater mussels.
Next week is the 4th annual @smithsonian National Education Summit! The planning team has been working hard behind-the-scenes to make the Summit a memorable experience for educators everywhere. Join us! Free registration available here: s.si.edu/EducationSummi… #SmithsonianEdu
We have captured 118,986 images of the Smithsonian's freshwater mussel collection! #ShellYeah Check out the video describing our project! youtube.com/watch?v=um6a24…
New Blog Post: Prof Catherine Roach writes about her use of a 3D model of Hiram Power's sculpture 'The Greek Slave' to challenge assumptions of history, gender, art, social justice and more. dpo.si.edu/blog/greek-sla…
On Tuesday, July 9, our @NMAAHC and @amhistorymuseum will be closed due to NATO meetings in Washington, DC. Learn more about planning your visit: si.edu/visit
Check out a #MusselMonday feature on our collaboration with the Department of Invertebrate Zoology at @NMNH! The project will help researchers at the Smithsonian and beyond document the distribution and variation of freshwater mussels over time. youtu.be/um6a24Bx7-4?si… #shellyeah
Assisting in the celebration of Women's History Month is Laura Whitfield, our newest Imaging Services photographer. She will be working on projects specifically for the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum (SAWHM) under the guidance of the Collections Digitization Program
Spring is coming early this year with #digitization @SIGardens of 650 hand colored glass lantern slides from @theGCAmerica by DPO Imaging Services/Smithsonian American Womans History Museum.
We are happy to welcome Corey DiPietro to the Informatics Team! Corey worked for many years in the National Museum of American History and will now work in projects to create and enhance digital records of all the units of the @smithsonian
Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD aims to bring awareness to the need for digital products to be accessible to all, regardless of ability or disability. We are always working to make the Smithsonian's 3D viewer, Voyager, more accessible...
Our @Smithsonian3D colleague Jon Blundell, virtuoso of all things 3D, at work on this challenging 3D capture.
The Mercury suit Alan Shepard wore during the first American crewed space flight was conserved and digitized by the Museum. Discover how it was done and see in the “Destination Moon” gallery: s.si.edu/41aQU6d
