A digital introspection of a mummy cat

摘要

In the last decade, through the accessibility of new medical imaging technologies, research on animal mummies of Ancient Egypt has become increasingly important, leading to a better understanding of the history and culture of this civilization. Additional new 3D technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality and 3D printing allow us to enrich the research process and open innovative possibilities for scenography in scientific mediation. We focus on one particular mummy cat and combine CT scanning, 3D printing and augmented reality in a global process to accompany and support a scientific study of the object and a preparation of a mediation action in a Museum.
