For Virtual Museum Muste I scanned some old important museum locations and made VR experiences of the model.

Ainola is the home of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. People can visit home museum but the upstairs is not open for public so we created virtual version of the upstairs. In the upstairs there is Aino’s bedroom and the work studio of the Jean Sibelius.

I took almost 4000 photos of the upstairs and reconstructed the 3D model with Reality capture. The model is completely remodeled manually to get the maximum performance. Remodeling took about 2 months to do. It was long time but the result is so good that it was definitely worth the effort.

The second museum i scanned was called Suviranta. It is the home of Finnish painter Eero Järnefelt. This was very similar scan compared to the Ainola. This model is also manually remodeled by hand. We had a student helping us for the remodeling. Remodeling took about 3 months to do.

The experiences were made with Unity game engine.

In the Suviranta and Ainola VR version there is about 750k polygons and 15x 8k textures.

There is both WebGl and VR versions available of both but for public release there is only the WebGL.
The WebGL version has either 15x 2k or 15x 4k textures.

The VR version runs on Quest 3 with high resolution settings and with Quest 2 it runs with regular settings.

Check the WebGL versions from links below. You need desktop or laptop for WebGL
