Autodesk Powers 3D Explorer for Smithsonian Institution

Sure! Here's the rewritten version: --- Public Company Information: NASDAQ: ADSK "Exploring these incredible artifacts, heirlooms, fossils, and scientific specimens in 3D could spark greater public curiosity and learning about science and technology—especially among students," expressed the team behind a groundbreaking collaboration between Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK), and the Smithsonian. WASHINGTON—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Today, Autodesk and the Smithsonian unveiled the Smithsonian x3D Explorer, an interactive 3D educational platform accessible to everyone online. Built specifically for the Smithsonian by Autodesk, this tool aims to make prized items more accessible and bring their stories to life. Now, the public can engage with these historically significant objects like never before—whether it's viewing them "behind the glass" or holding 3D-printed replicas. The integration of 3D technology is transforming museums in the same way it has reshaped industries like entertainment, manufacturing, and architecture. The Smithsonian is determined to lead this change. "Digitizing our extensive and intricate collection of artifacts is crucial," stated Gunter Waibel, head of the Smithsonian Digitization Program Office. "Collaborating with Autodesk allows us to share our collections with far more people than ever before. We believe the Smithsonian x3D Explorer will inspire new forms of education and research." Autodesk actively supports various museums and heritage organizations through its reality computing technology, helping preserve cultural treasures and historical artifacts. By creating detailed 3D models, some of the world's most treasured artifacts and scientific specimens housed within the Smithsonian will be preserved and made globally accessible, enriching education and research for future generations. At any given time, less than 1% of the Smithsonian's collection is on display, and many items may never be shown physically. Digitally showcasing these objects opens up a whole new world of learning and discovery. While a considerable portion of the organization's "flat" items like photos and documents have already been digitized, the majority of the Smithsonian's collections consist of 3D objects. To address this, Autodesk worked with the Smithsonian to develop an immersive web-based experience—a virtual museum complete with galleries, guided tours, research data, and a 3D object explorer. The x3D Explorer launched with 3D models of 21 representative objects from the collection. "We're proud to have contributed to preserving these invaluable pieces of human history," said Amar Hanspal, senior vice president at Autodesk. "Our hope is that exploring these artifacts, heirlooms, fossils, and scientific specimens in 3D will fuel more public interest and learning about science and technology—especially among students." The Smithsonian x3D Explorer offers stunning 3D models of historic treasures and scientific specimens for free to anyone who wishes to view, study, interact with, manipulate visually, and share. Many of these 3D models are available for download for personal and educational purposes, including 3D printing. This means classrooms worldwide can now work with replicas of these artifacts, potentially inspiring students to delve deeper into the vast fields of science, technology, engineering, and anthropology preserved at the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian Digitization Program Office is tasked with digitizing as much of the institution's collection as possible, but the sheer size of the collection poses a significant challenge. To meet this challenge, the office utilized Autodesk ReCap and Autodesk Maya solutions to efficiently and rapidly capture artifacts through photography and convert them into detailed 3D models viewable with Hollywood-quality detail on the x3D Explorer.
