The presentation highlights Haltadefinizione’s pioneering work in preserving and enhancing cultural heritage through gigapixel photography. Since 2005, the company has led innovative digitization projects, including the world’s first gigapixel image of an artwork and extraordinary projects like The Last Supper, the Scrovegni Chapel, and masterpieces by Botticelli, Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci.
Haltadefinizione also creates physical replicas of artworks by combining gigapixel and 3D scanning, which are used for educational and exhibition purposes. Finally, the presentation will introduce new ways to explore gigapixel images through immersive headsets.
Visitors will have the chance to explore astonishingly magnified details in gigapixel, made possible by sophisticated hardware and software specifically designed for cultural heritage. The presentation emphasizes the importance of preserving cultural heritage with digital technologies, thus democratizing access to art.
