Eveil3D

The Eveil3D project, aiming at exploiting cutting-edge technologies to improve the learning of foreign languages, has led to the creation of a virtual reality application to bring a context to new lexical fields by the immersion into didactic scenarios in order to ease their memorization. One of these scenarios takes place in the scenery of the cathedral of Strasbourg, which had to be partially recreated into the virtual application.

In partnership with the technology transfer centre Holo3 and the Notre-Dame Foundation, I performed the 3D scanning of four statues of the cathedral of Strasbourg to integrate them into this scenario : two originals in sandstone located in the bell tower and two plaster prints stored in the foundation workshops.

The originals have been measured by photogrammetry due to the difficult accessibility conditions (on a 100m high cornice), and the prints thanks to a structured light range scanner for a better metrology accuracy.

After processing in lab with the ExRealis software, we have produced 3D models of these statues, including colour textures for an improved realism, before their integration into the learning scenario.
