The research team from the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformatics at Wrocław University of Science and Technology, implementing the project “Digital Journey through Muskau Arch Geopark,” presents further progress in the development of 3D models of mining and geological heritage objects for augmented reality (AR) applications and 3D printing.
Recently, work has focused on the preparation and optimisation of digital models of selected mining objects from the former “Babina” mine, located in the Polish part of the Muskau Arch UNESCO Global Geopark. In addition to modelling preserved mining structures and infrastructure, reconstruction of objects that no longer exist is also being carried out based on archival maps, photographs and historical documentation.
The developed models are being adapted both for use in AR applications and for 3D printing. As part of the ongoing work, the first test prints of selected objects have been produced, and a library of 3D models is being expanded for use in the planned application.
The project “Digital Journey through Muskau Arch Geopark” is co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund within the framework of the INTERREG Poland–Saxony Cooperation Programme 2021–2027.
