Overview
During execution of this pilot, virtual rock collection of rocks will be established. Firstly professional, photographic studio with rotary table, light tent and proper lightening will be created. Secondly by simultaneous use of 2 cameras, photos from different angles (30° and 60°) will be sourced. Subsequently gather photos will be implemented to “Digital Photo Professional 4” software and their properties will be customized. Next modified photos will be uploaded to “Reality Capture” software and 3d models will be created. Finally obtained models will be implemented to virtual reality environment and utilized for educational purposes.
