Walkthrough
Once you have a building set up in the RETOLD documentation system, you can add information to the building by conducting a so-called walkthrough. Important to note, is that you can take a number of walkthroughs over time and compare these (overlay), or just select a single of them to be presented.
3d Models
This is an option we tested in the first version of the app and it worked very well. However, it is not possible to do this within this platform. We will work on this feature in the future and hope to integrate it later.
Open Walkthrough for Maintenance
You can place marks on 3D model of the building. These marks can contain information, like text, video or images. The images or video you either add from the device’s camera roll, by producing footage live, or from the devices file storage system. You add marks while live documenting and can edit these to add extra information. You perform the walkthrough in steps, as indicated by the progress bar at the top of the page. This ensures that observation and documentation follows a common pattern, so that results can be compared within the museum, and with research from other museums. The category corresponds to where you are in the current walkthrough. You can for example define a condition type to indicate damage.
Open Walkthrough for Visitors
The exact same way you stick information for internal purposes into your image or 3D model of the building can be used to include information for visitors. Again, you can include different kinds of information or stories at the same place in a 3D model, depending on the purpose, for example by using different languages.
