Shortly after the Long Night of Munich Museums, the Deutsches Museum is now beginning some renovation and refurbishment work, some of which will take several years to complete. To ensure that the affected exhibition areas, such as aerospace, do not disappear completely from the scene, the Deutsches Museum is offering a realistic alternative: With the help of the IndoorViewer from NavVis The exhibition spaces have been digitized and created in 3D. This means that tours can continue, namely virtual tours:
A completely redesigned overview with memorable icons representing the individual exhibition areas gives users the choice of navigating through individual areas of the museum using the mouse or being guided by an audio guide. Under the motto "Through World, Space, and Time," three tours are currently available: Shipping, Aviation, and Space Travel.
Using a NavVis trolley, a mobile scanner equipped with lasers and cameras, interior spaces can be mapped quickly and simultaneously captured with high-resolution 360-degree photographs. A browser-based IndoorViewer enables browsing within the building, wayfinding, interaction with any stored points of interest (e.g., video or audio files), and precise point-to-point measurements.
About NavVis
NavVis GmbH develops innovative products and applications for centimeter-precise mapping and navigation in indoor spaces. This enables simple orientation even in complex buildings such as factories and exhibition halls, airports, train stations, shopping centers, museums, and much more. The patent-pending trolley maps the surroundings in a very short time using laser scanners. At the same time, cameras create a dense network of high-resolution 360-degree photographs of the entire interior. The next generation of NavVis will also enable turn-by-turn indoor navigation via smartphone. Similar to human orientation, this visual positioning requires no additional infrastructure in the building, such as Wi-Fi hotspots, RFID, or Bluetooth.
