3D Digitization &
Creation
Transform your objects, artworks, and heritage into augmented reality experiences. High-fidelity 3D, 2D iconographic integration, bespoke creation — accessible to all cultural players.
Giving a digital life
to what exists in the real world
3D digitization captures the shape, texture, and material of a physical object with millimeter precision. At BavAR[t], we go further: we also offer iconographic integration — a solution allowing institutions with only 2D content (photographs, archives, illustrations) to bring their heritage into AR without complex 3D modeling.
6 concrete applications
of cultural 3D
Direct integration into the BavAR[t] app to overlay your 3D models onto the real world via smartphone — historical reconstructions, animated objects, characters.
Your photographs, posters, and archives enter AR through 3D Sheets — intelligent frames that encapsulate 2D content and make it immersive, without scanning or modeling.
Tactile replicas for visitors with reduced mobility or visual impairment. Educational scale models. Unique souvenirs. 3D in the service of accessibility.
Preserve the high-resolution digital memory of a fragile piece, a threatened building, or a unique object. Heritage protected against time and accidents.
Introduction to photogrammetry with school classes or adult groups. Participants digitize objects themselves and discover 3D through hands-on practice.
Animate a 3D object, make it speak, integrate it into a video or promotional clip. 3D as a differentiating visual communication tool.
No 3D models?
That’s no longer a barrier.
Most cultural collections consist of photographs, archival images, and illustrations — not 3D models. Until now, that was a barrier to entering AR. BavAR[t] solved this with 3D Sheets: an intelligent 3D frame that encapsulates any 2D image and makes it immediately AR-ready.
Photo, archive, illustration, poster, scan — any image format
Live in the BavAR[t] app and in the online Collection with narration
Three approaches
for every need
- Multi-angle photo capture (50 to 200+ photos depending on the object)
- Automated reconstruction (RealityCapture, Metashape)
- Photorealistic high-resolution texture
- Ideal for: objects, sculptures, buildings, archaeological sites
- Output: faithful 3D model, exportable to all formats
- Modeling of historical figures from iconographic references
- Reconstruction of disappeared or transformed buildings
- Creation of imaginary or futuristic environments
- Ideal for: what no longer exists or doesn’t exist yet
- Output: animatable model, optimized for real-time AR/VR
- An intelligent 3D frame that encapsulates a 2D image and makes it AR-ready
- Photographs, archives, posters, illustrations — any image format
- No 3D modeling required from the institution
- Ideal for: iconographic collections, photographic archives, historical records
- Output: artwork integrated in the app + visible in the online Collection

3D creations that made
the difference
Full photogrammetry of the 19th-century “tête à claque” automaton — too fragile to be handled. The 3D model enables immersive mediation with audio narration, without any risk to the original.
12 iconic historical figures modeled in 3D from portraits and period iconography. A purely digital creation for figures that exist only in memory — deployed in AR at the TEN convention.
Photographic archives, posters, and illustrations brought into AR via 3D Sheets — with zero modeling. Institutions provide their images; BavAR[t] makes them immersive and publishes them in the Collection.
All our creations in the BavAR[t] Collection
Every artwork produced through our services is available in the online Collection — viewable in 3D with audio, rights credited, full experience in the browser.
