Prepping for a Photogrammetry Workshop

nosferatu

In the lab this week, I’m scheduled to facilitate a Digital Humanities Summer Institute “Hello World” workshop on photogrammetry. Titled “Stitching 2D into 3D,” the workshop will guide UVic graduate students through the use of 2D photography to produce 3D models. We’ll also touch on how to repair, edit, and print those 3D models. Put differently, we’ll be navigating our way through several stages (or instantiations) of materiality, digital materials included.

Right now, tho, I’m spending a few minutes researching possible responses to a very important question: what to stitch? What kind of object would interest participants? What object would raise interesting cultural or social issues? What’s familiar but also poses curious challenges to the photogrammetry process?

More soon!
