Digitising the Murten Panorama

Quote:

Join the eM+, EPFL team as they unpack the story behind their Terapixel Panorama Project, a pioneering work that represents a trio of world-firsts: the first digitized panorama at deep zoom scale, the largest image from a single heritage object, and the world’s first to be augmented with real-time olfaction. The presentation charts the project's full lifecycle, beginning with the technical challenges and innovative imaging workflow developed to achieve this unprecedented scale. It then addresses the crucial next step: building the standard-compliant, sustainable documentation infrastructure required to transform this visual marvel into a permanent, queryable digital twin for scholarly engagement. Finally, the presentation demonstrates how this monumental dataset is brought to life to create new avenues for public access, fostering fun, immersive, and multisensory connections to heritage.
