New 3D Printed Models of Pompeii Released

One of the most famous tragedies of all time is that of Pompeii, the Mediterranean village destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the year 79 AD. However, the beauty of the city wasn't lost forever, thanks again to 3D technology. The Swedish Pompeii Project was begun in 2000 at the Swedish Institute in Rome, with the goal of excavating an entire city Pompeian city block for study and analysis. Massive amounts of photographs and data have been taken of the city block over the last 16 years, and in 2011, a digital element was added. The research team 3D scanned the city block over the course of 2011 and 2012, and have now released several 3D models - including an entire house, digitally reconstructed and now the subject of a virtual tour.
