3-D Imaging [Presenters: John Eberhart & John ffrench]
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon
Bass Library L01 (lower level of the library)

3-D imaging is any technique capable of recording three-dimensional visual information or creating the illusion of depth in an image. Several different 3-D imaging techniques are being used at Yale for research and teaching purposes. We will hear from two speakers about how they are using 3-D imaging to support teaching at Yale. The Yale University Art Gallery recently completed a joint project with the Peabody Museum of Natural History to digitize and share their collections online with ARTstor. John ffrench will show the 3-D imaging technology that was employed for some of the objects from the African Art collection, and discuss the process used to create and compile these images and the teaching applications of these images. John Eberhart from the School of Architecture will discuss how he supports the teaching of architecture with 3-D imaging techniques and a 3-D imaging lab.

John ffrench is the Associate Director of Visual Resources at the Yale University Art Gallery. John Eberhart is a Critic in the School of Architecture.
