Project Description

This project was developed as part of the CS course 'Ubiquitous Texttechnologies' in support of the Text Technology Lab at Goethe University Frankfurt. The goal of the project was to develop a virtual 3D reconstruction of the Synagogue Höchst, which was destroyed during the Novemberpogrome 1938. The model was then integrated into the Stolperwege project, which aims to develop an app for realizing a digital public history of the Holocaust. For the realistic reconstruction we used the Blender tool which is an open-source 3D computer graphics software toolset used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality and computer games. As reference we used original construction plans and architectural recordings as well as an existing 3D model from Architectura Virtualis GmbH.
