Put together digitization plan tailored to your specific requirements We developed management system for selection, approval and control of ditigization processes.

We developed and delivered technological devices Witikon for the national project “Digital Museum“ 2012-2015, deployd 80 museums in Slovak republic Republic.

- We developed and maintain Central Register for Museum Collections (CEMUZ) for the Ministry of Culture and all museums in Slovakia since 2004

We developed and provide maintenance for online museum collection system (ESEZ), which has 600 online professional users such as curators, etc. for 82 museums in Slovakia

We developed cloud based presentation platform for object panorama/360 photography. We generate 3D Models on demand.

Digitisation Process

Stages of 3D generation
From aligned photos to 3D

Why digitization?

CONSERVATION/RESTORATION

Determined by speed of processing large volume of objects. Time per item.

GALLERY DISPLAY

Re-contextualization and study. Perfect texture of 3D object models is required.

ONLINE DISPLAY FOR PUBLIC

Lower resolution allowing viewing on standard devices. Thin client for visualization.

ONLINE FOR RESEARCH

Allowing the study of details, measurements, online annotations, etc. High resolution.

VIRTUAL REALITY

3D models of precious objects – e.g. for virtual museum concepts occurring. Easy streaming.

CREATION OF 3D PRINTOUTS

Range from perfect duplicates (exhibits) to mass-produced souvenirs. Export to print formats.

Witikon WMS

►Witikon Macro - Automated with macro focus-stacking

►Focus stacking is a digital image processing technique which combines multiple images taken at different focus distances to give a resulting image with a greater depth of field (DOF) than any of the individual source images.
