3D Models from the Fitzwilliam
The 38 3D models on the Fitzwilliam’s Sketchfab website are the result of a research project to create 3D imaging of the permanent collection to improve protection from wear & tear caused by touching, whilst at the same time serving the needs of curators and the benefits to visitors and learners of taking part in handling sessions.
The intention is to enable further learning and engagement without risk to the objects through annotation and audio description, and the eventual incorporation of tactile models in galleries.
