POCATELLO 鈥 Idaho Virtualization Laboratory employees Robert Schlader and Rebecca Hansis-O鈥橬eill were recently asked to participate in the 鈥淎ll Things 3D鈥 podcast and YouTube series.

Schlader and O鈥 Neill were contacted by Michael Balzer and Chris Kopack, the creators of 鈥淎ll Things 3D,鈥 and asked to participate in the podcast episode titled, 鈥3D in Review.鈥 Balzer and Kopack were impressed with the Idaho Virtualization Lab鈥檚 3D 鈥淔ix a Broken Wolf Skull鈥 modeling simulator.

鈥淭he simulator is a free, easy way to see what we do,鈥 O鈥 Neill said.

In 鈥3D in Review,鈥 Schlader and O鈥橬eill provided information about the Idaho Virtualization Lab and turning something physical in the world into a 3D model in the computer. They also talked about the state-of-the-art technology the laboratory has and its significance use in the lab.

The Idaho Virtualization Laboratory was founded in 2003 and has since created many 3D projects with state-of-the-art technology for the Idaho Museum of Natural History located on the 色花堂app campus. Creating 3D projects enables the museum to preserve artifacts and use the models to show more information and pictures of exhibits and artifacts.

Balzer is heading the 鈥淎ll Things 3,鈥 project to create a virtual reality education tool for children similar to the View Master toy, which allowed children to look through a red binocular-like object and view slides. He wants to create a modern version.

One future project Idaho Virtualization Lab has planned is making an app which will pull up different 3D-models based on artifacts. It will provide guests with a virtual tour of the museum. The app is currently in the development phase. It will be available in late February or early March for free.
