Book of Fortresses

The Duke Wired! Lab for Digital Art History and Visual Culture explores visual and material culture through critical engagement with digital technologies. I was on the Book of Fortresses team, which aimed to spatially reconstruct an exceptional architectural source from early modern Portugal called the Livro das Fortalezas (Book of Fortresses).

As a research fellow, created 3D digital models based on the plans on perspective drawings in the book, learned photogrammetry techniques that my PI used to create a 3D meshes of the present-day castles, and developed a virtual reality experience that helps users engage and visual interpret the book.
