Context: 

The Union government plans to complete 3D digitisation of all museums under its administrative control by 2023 ­end for better conservation of artefacts.

Digitisation of Museums:

  • The digitisation process involves 3D scanning which means analysing a real world object or environment to collect three dimensional data of its shape and possibly its appearance. 
  • 3D models can be used in augmented reality and virtual reality learning experiences, and facilitate 3D printing. 
  • The collected data is then used to construct digital 3D models.
  • The entire process is being carried out by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.

JATAN Software:

  • The 3D digitisation would be done using the JATAN virtual museum builder software.
  • It  has been designed by Human Centres Design and Computing Group, Centre for Development of Smart Computing, Pune. 
  • JATAN is a client server application with features such as image cropping, watermarking, unique numbering, and management of digital objects with multimedia representations. 
  • It can create 3D virtual galleries and provide public access to any artefacts on display or in the reserve collection of the museum  through web, mobile or touchscreen kiosks.
  • Currently, it is successfully deployed in ten national museums across India, as standardised by the Ministry of Culture.
