Cumulative lessons in more accessible photogrammetry

This presentation will describe and analyse a series of ongoing research and development projects within the context of object-based learning, creative material practices, artefact histories and digital futures. This series of cumulative projects has arisen out of and responds to the interdependent needs of a variety of creative and cultural heritage practitioners, archives and collections. The projects focus on the potential of photogrammetry to capture objects and artefacts, materials and traces, for use in visualisation, analysis and re-materialisation, as well as in the production of knowledge and of new creations - both material and more virtual. Their ultimate aim is to help develop and share more accessible and reliable approaches, equipment and methods for high-quality 3D capture via photogrammetry across the arts, culture and heritage sectors, and this presentation hopes to help break down some of the barriers restricting the adoption and use of this remarkably versatile and capable technology
