3D Point Cloud Laser Scanning | IDIA and the SimLab use our Faro Photon Laser Scanner to digitize large-scale physical environments.
From a seashell to auditorium, laser-scanning can capture the objects and spaces we inhabit and convert them into a digital model. The IDIA scans a range of small or large scale 3D objects using facilities and equipment shared with the SimLab in the College of Architecture and Planning and supported by the Office of Information Technology.
Microsoft Surface Museum Collection Portal | IDIA students and staff have designed a custom MS Surface application for browsing and searching an art museum's collection - connecting the art objects on display with the vast archived content of a museum's collection that is typically not seen.
IDIA Lab Simulations in Blue Mars | IDIA Lab in Blue Mars, is an evolving showcase of historic simulation projects from the Institute for Digital Intermedia Arts at Ball State University. Explore the 1915 World’s Fair, Asian temples, and an interactive art museum. Our new simulations including the Virtual Middletown Living Museum will be published by mid July 2011.
