As part of the EUreka3D project, a blogpost authored by John Balean on behalf of Photoconsortium was recently published on Europeana.

In the blogpost, a brief history of 3D and 3D digitisation gets addressed, starting from a cartoon by Roland Emett from Punch Magazine in 1953. The narration goes through different hisotrical periods and locations, from Ancient Greece to the present day, and it’s an occasion to reflect on the value of 3D throughout history – and the one it has today, and how it will affect the future of digitisation.
