Microscopia

Microscopia is a museum of organisms created by combining scanning electron microscopy and a process called photogrammetry. 2D images of organisms captured with a scanning electron microscope were sequenced in Reality Capture, a photogrammetry software, to create 3D models.

This app provides you with two ways to bring these models into your world: Card Mode and Surface Mode.

Card Mode projects the models onto species cards provided at exhibitions. Just point your camera at the face of the card and its respective model will appear on top of it! Cards are also available as printable images on the Microscopia website, under the AR tab.

Surface Mode gives you the freedom to place models on any surface, no cards needed. The AR tracking works best on relatively detailed surfaces and with ARKit compatible iPhone models.

This app is a companion to the Microscopia VR experience. To learn more, visit the Microscopia website.
