Before Sunrise

Synthetic re-renderings of modern photographs of the Rouen Cathedral,
projected onto the surface of a 3D Rouen Cathedral CG model
and seen from different points of view.

In this animation we have projected our own photographs of the Rouen Cathedral onto the surface of the 3D model we extracted, and then re-rendered these photographs from a series of different positions. A user of the Rouen Revisited kiosk would experience a sequence similar to this if she were to set the kiosk to display new photographs (versus Monet paintings or archival photographs), set the time of day to the earliest morning position, and then scrub in a clockwise loop using the "point of view" interface. In the interactive kiosk, a 3-dimensional viewing surface is provided, across which users can create their own paths from which to view the cathedral's façade
