Students help create virtual tour of Page Farm and Home Museum
The Page Farm and Home Museum has released a new virtual tour developed in collaboration with Matthew Magnani, assistant professor of anthropology and climate change at the University of Maine, and his students.
In consultation with museum Director Patricia Henner, students in Magnani’s Museum Anthropology course helped create a high-quality digital copy of the main 1833 Maine Experiment Station barn using an integrated camera and LiDAR system. The 3D scan provides faithful documentation of the university’s oldest structure, which is also the last original agricultural building on campus.
The tour is available on the museum’s website and can be accessed through any device, including those used for virtual reality.
