2025 March-2 - 180 articles

Cover Story: This article investigates and uses multisensory media techniques in order to create convincing XR representations of fossilised tree trunks. While comparing different workflows, it focusses on mobile imaging technology, considering advantages of computational photography processes when it comes to 3D Photogrammetry. The findings reveal the advantages of recent developments in mobile imaging technology, essentially democratising processes to enable higher-end fidelity results for smaller organisations or enthusiasts with limited budgets, as well as further optimising the use of resources for more established institutions or anyone involved in XR industry applications. Considering how rapidly mobile devices such as smartphones are evolving, the future of digital imaging seems exciting. View this paper
