The Smithsonian Institution will be hosting a two day conference on November 13 and 14 to show how 3D technologies will transform their work as well as other museum and research institutions worldwide.

Smithsonian X 3D will present for the first time ever, state-of-the-art 3D scanning and image-based modeling technology paired with new Smithsonian tools that will enable museum collections, scientific specimens, and entire research sites to be digitally recorded, studied, and shared in immersive detail.

Michael Raphael at Direct Dimensions is involved with this effort.
