We will be attempting to livestream Prom Leadout tonight, beginning sometime after 7 pm EDT.
We plan to have 2 streams going on Youtube – one camera will be elevated, and one at floor level. Assuming everything works as planned, both will be available on the main MDS Youtube Channel,
There are dozens upon dozens of apps you can download from the MDS App Portal. CLICK HERE to see the list, divided up by general categories.
[NOTE: You do have to be signed in to your MDS Google Account to view the info.]
If you are viewing this blog entry on the Tech website, you can click the “APP PORTAL” link, above.
Feel Free to download any of the apps you’d like to explore!
Have an app you don’t want anymore? Send a request to the iPad email, or to Mr. Rule to have it removed.
Want to see if your iPad has enough room? Call up Settings -> General -> About and look at iPad Storage. You should see a line telling you how much open storage you have available.
ADVICE: Leave at least 3gig open on your iPad. It will start misbehaving and causing you headaches if you don’t.
Visit the website and go to all sorts of ancient places virtually. Go INSIDE the Great Pyramid of Giza, several tombs [including King Tut’s] and the Sphinx.
These tours included 360º views and paths through the insides of the tombs and monuments. YES, they work on an iPad!
This has been the product of over a year of work with numerous teachers, technologists, cultural heritage workers, and our unending gratitude goes to each of them. Specifically, the professors and researchers across institutions at the New Alexandria Foundation have helped the various development stages.
The spaces will have guided interpretive materials in the future after their Explore modes are public.
Artifacts
The artifact scans are completed with the various researchers for connecting to the spaces where they originated or to serve as an example of what might have been in a tomb or temple, for example. They’re also available as standalone as the guided interpretative materials are being developed. Here are a few highlights:
In the near future, I’m hoping to clean up this data and process each space into a neural radiance field, displayed via 3D Gaussian Splatting, or something similar. You can see an example of this working in the virtual space tour here:
