AMSTERDAM - Last week, the anniversary exhibition of the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam opened. Part of this special exhibition is a real-life digital 3D projection of a restored faraokop and a Greek prijsamfoor. A historic first, because such a 3D visualization for the first time in a Dutch museum display.

Thanks to increased digitization, it is increasingly easier to obtain and create reliable 3D reconstructions. Now, it is possible to show 3D visualizations on a special xyZ 3D Displays without having any "3d-glasses". The Allard Pierson Museum, is the first museum in The Netherlands to use this technology.

The Nijmegen based 3D company Zero Creative supplied its unique xyZ 3D LCD screen that includes the custom made 3D animations of a farao head and price amfora.

This 3D visualization enables the museum to explain how an incomplete farao head looked in it's original state. Also a Greek price amfora is shown, with four athletes that were displayed (originally) anatomically incorrect. A 3D animation shows how the vase would look, when the athletes were painted correctly.

"In the future, museums will ever more explicitly use these visualization and 3D techniques involved. They can be used to open up collections and to improve the experiences of new generations of visitors," says Wim Hupperetz, the director of the Allard Pierson Museum.

The exhibition, called "A Future for the Past", is held in honor of the 75th anniversary of the museum located in the heart of Amsterdam. Visitors can identify with the archeology and the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean.

Zero Creative specializes in 3D experiences using (interactive realtime) 3D presentations. It is also currently the leading supplier of a high quality LCD screen, based on Lenticular technology that enables 3D without glasses.
