"When a culturally important structure is destroyed, a digital 3D-archive can help restore the building"

Article in finnish. (Lots of memo-people in this one)

Aalto-yliopiston ja Paikkatietokeskuksen tutkijat ovat mallintaneet tällä vuosituhannella jo lähes sata merkittävää kulttuurikohdetta. Suomi on maailman huippua 3D-mittalaitteilla tuotetun digitaalisen, valokuvamaisen ja mittatarkan aineiston tuottamisessa ja käsittelyssä.

Good friday afternoon! May all your normals be delightfully aligned, and may your meshes be in beautiful symmetric cooperation with your uv-maps.

MAXON wrote an article about a memo-project!

Here you go, a little interactive cozy 3D experiment just for you:

You: for me?!

Yes, just for you, we made:

"Weight of The World"

Check it out! ❄️

Almost all objects + environment are 3D scans made using photogrammetry, some are just plane photographs and a few are cameraprojections, but only the snow and the head of the lightpole is actually modelled.

Hope you like it!

It was cold and sunny morning in Otaniemi. We are doing some laser scanner testing with bicycle.

Stay tuned for the results...

Augmented Reality happened at "Science and Coffee" 12.9.2018.

The 3D model in the picture is a prediction of what a small finnish town "Närpes" will look like in the year 2044.

Thanks to everybody that came and listened, It was fun!

✖️ 3D CULTURE HUB PROJECT ✖️ "The virtual replicas we make by 3D technologies can be stored even when the events themselves have gone and can be shared to a far wider audience."

Matti, JP and Kaisa from MeMo 3D Experiments talk about the 3D culture hub project at Aalto University.

MeMo has been involved in 3D scanning the city of Närpes for this exhibition.

Närpes is a small town on Finland's west coast with a humble population of 9,502. Närpes survives mostly on farming and production of large trucks.

The augmented reality "holographic" exhibiton feature modified 3D scans, that illustrate what the small town will look like in the future...or according to the organizer Rymdfisk: "the past".

The exhibition is set in the future in the year 2093 and show never before seen holograms from Närpes very rich, but very violent history.

The history of Närpes has gone trough a lot in 100 years. Unfortunately there is not much documentation that has survived the big cyborg-war in 2056-2065 witch is more commonly known as "the lost decade".

Before and after the lost decade there are however a lot of documentation, for example a hologram of the city center in 2040 "The golden days " and the rebuilding of bridges and construction of war monuments in 2070.

The exhibition is on display until the end of august 31.8.2018 in Mittistan​ Närpes Finland

Why don´t you go and have a look?

MeMo 3D-scanning Närpes City is going to be put to good use in the upcoming exhibiton "Närpes 2093, holographic exhibition"

The modified 3D scans will be shown in an exhibition in the glorious town of Närpes with the help of Augmented reality

The exhibition is open 2.8 to 30.8 in Närpes Art-hall "mittistan"

Download the Augmented reality app "Arilyn" and come have a looksie if you happen to be in the neighboorhood of finlands westcoast

Its going to to be insaneballs

Närpes city center have now gone trough a very thorough MeMo-treatment with an exotic mixture of photogrammetry and laserscanning.

Now both Närpes and we are tired and we are now going to start processing the 3D-model of Närpes city center.

to be continued...:)

"Fiilistelemässä geometriaa Närpiössä"

Tomorrow we are going to transform Närpiö's famously flat "Finnish flatlands'" geometry into some delicious point clouds.
