3D Touch-Table

National Museums Northern Ireland in partnership with Living Legacies 1914-18, the Centre for Data Digitisation & Analysis and the Nerve Centre have been working on an interactive touchtable featuring 1916 content.

This table features 3D scans of some of National Museums Northern Ireland First World War collections such as the German Medic uniform, the trench periscope, medals and the field telephone.

3D scans of some of NMNI’s First World War collection allow visitors to browse and zoom in on the object – something you can’t do when an object is in a display case or in museum storage. Life in the trenches, Communication as well as the Easter Rising and sections on Roger Casement and James Connolly.
