Virtual Reality and Antarctic Exploration

The video follows Barbara Bollard-Breen and her team as they create a virtual reality model of a historic hut used by British explorer Robert Falcon Scott. The hut, over 100 years old, is remarkably preserved, offering a glimpse into the past. The team aims to document the hut's interior using multiple cameras to stitch together a 3D orthomosaic. The project is time-sensitive due to the remote location, emphasizing the importance of capturing every detail accurately.
