RETOLD Getting Started

November 2024

During the RETOLD project, we explored how open-air museums can leverage the growth and improvement of creative technologies connected to the interactive and immersive field to establish a visually engaging and content-rich digital presence.

The two most useful tools we used during the projects were videography for craft documentation, and photogrammetry for building documentation and illustration. However, still photography and 360 degree photographs are also useful tools to consider.

In the following, we will give an overview of some of the techniques practiced as part of the RETOLD project, effective ways of using the techniques, and a short case study of how Steinzeitpark Dithmarschen implemented the technologies, utilising the media created to enrich their website and communicate to visitors and peers.

RETOLD makes the museums more robust, and once digital, they can share their stories in various ways. But each museum has their own challenges, partly because of differences in size, nature or location and organisational structure. We therefore suggest you set priorities. 

Which craft activities and which buildings are most important for you?
  1. What information do you have on those crafts?
  2. What information do you have on those buildings?
 
What do we have on show?
  1. How to combine the craft documentation with the craft video?
  2. How do we combine the 3D model with the building documentation?
