The developers worked meticulously to the last detail to ensure this high level of quality. The aim of the multi-year project was to demonstrate the possibilities that lie within photogrammetry and real-world scanning. All textures were realized in an equally high quality and resolution, without any disturbing shadows or light reflections in the bitmap.
Armed with a flashlight, you can freely explore the ornate vaults. To ensure that visitors don’t miss any content during their stay, most walls and ornaments have visual hotspots that reveal additional info and history, when highlighted.
