Backup Ukraine - A Tool to Protect Ukraine Culture
The 'Backup Ukraine' project is a digital rescuer of Ukraine' culture. The bombings in Ukraine are relentless. As well as the countless deaths and unspeakable suffering, Ukraine’s architecture and cultural heritage is being destroyed. While Ukrainian citizens are fighting for their lives and country, groups and individuals among them are working to physically save Ukraine’s architecture and cultural heritage. Vast numbers of antiquities and monuments are being actively removed from harm’s way, where possible. But many others have already been, or will be, lost, and some are immovable, leaving them vulnerable to destruction. The challenges in saving artefacts during an active war are many, and rarely a priority as infrastructure and resources are rightfully dedicated to more pressing priorities. But in the digital era, mobile 3D scanning technology available through Polycam offers a way to save full renderings of any physical object. 'Backup Ukraine' is an initiative inviting civilians to digitally preserve their nation. The Danish UNESCO National Commission, Blue Shield Denmark and Polycam, a prosumer app that allows anyone with a newer iPhone or iPad to completely capture objects or even rooms in 3D, are partnering to repurpose the core Polycam product and distribute it to create a means for any person in Ukraine to quickly and easily scan and upload digital renderings of important architecture, statues and monuments. The project has been was conceived, initiated and is being co-ordinated by the research and innovation arm within Virtue, the agency powered by VICE. Credits Agency: Virtue Worldwide. App: Polycam.
