  3. Innovation Replicated • Many scholars believe Michelangelo was a master of innovation. • To make those great treasures available to more of us, Marc Levoy, associate professor from Stanford university, developed The Digital Michelangelo Project to make 3-D computer archive of these famous sculptures. back

  4. Every inch of David • a large scanner on a 20-foot truss • a smaller scanner mounted on the end of a robotic arm • a third scanner stand back 300 feet away 14 feet,3 inches tall or 17 feet tall ? back

  5. Learning His Tricks • with the computer images, people can examine every detail • animate the sculptures to unmask some tricks back

  6. Putting the Pieces Together • Levoy hopes the research will help put the pieces of a giant map of ancient Rome together
