Digital Explorations Museum The Digital Explorations Museum celebrates the Paralympics in 3D objects. The content in this museum was created by a team of disabled people across Buckinghamshire who received professional training in the techniques of 3D scanning and photogrammetry, as well as a range of other curation skills. This museum showcases 20 of the 65 museum artefacts now available online, some that were previously uncatalogued and too fragile to handle, are now accessible, in a digital format worldwide to all. You can find out more about the project and enter the interactive 3D Museum here. Or watch the video walkthrough below.
