Filmmaker heads to Iraq with Artec Space Spider and Eva to save what’s left of Mesopotamia, the world’s oldest civilization.

3d scanning heritage

“I want to launch a movement of preserving heritage. If I teach 40 people how to use 3D, and they teach more people, and we start gathering data from all over the country, we can digitize all of it.”
