Tomographic Imagery of Nihonto Committee

[Cookie4Monstah]

Greetings everyone,

 

If I were to garner some assistance I would be interested to get a sub-committee going for the “NBTHK-AB” to do image overlays of various nihonto. Two dimensional images for the two sides and a three dimensional digital cross section of historical and culturally significant nihonto. I can reach out to some contacts at MIT and see if any museums would be willing to lend a hand. Imaging being able to swivel a three dimensional rendering of your favorite nihonto with “virtual reality” joy-cons. We’ll have so many 12 year olds with “VR” join this forum it’ll be hysterical. Sadly I’m not twelve anymore. 

Best,

Khalid

The issue is there is not going to be much activity seen unless the lights etc. are arranged exactly as needed, and laser based 3D scans will just provide a rather bland 3d image with no details.
