Magellan Creates New Ultra-High Resolution Digital Twin of the Titanic

• Magellan applied new techniques to its 2022 Titanic model, improving resolution and accuracy by over 35%.
• The updated data reveals deeper color and detail, with visuals optimized for online viewing.

Magellan has released a significantly improved version of its full-scale digital twin of the Titanic, created in 2022. The wreck, located 3,800 meters beneath the Atlantic, was captured using deep-sea mapping and dense point cloud techniques.

Magellan reprocessed the original raw data and point cloud using new techniques, resulting in over 35% improvement in resolution and accuracy. The dataset preserves each point’s individual Cartesian coordinates, time stamp, and texture.

All images and videos derived from the model have been reduced to 1080p or similar formats to ensure broad accessibility without compromising visual clarity for online viewing.

🌀 Tom's Take:

By preserving cultural treasures in high-fidelity digital form, we ensure they can be explored by anyone, anywhere, for generations, while enriching the research and insights of experts worldwide.
