Mystery Vase 02: Viewing in Cappasity

While seeing the Mystery Vase in a rotating ideo is helpful, it can't beat actually being in control of the rotation when it comes to being able to really pay attention to the details of the object.  We can add this capability by using a wonderful platform called Cappasity.  I has turned our standard video into a 360 degree view that we can control.  As, importantly, it allows us to zoom and pan on the object to get an up-close view to truly enhance our observational experience.

Please come check back to this page as more will be added as we reflect on the best ways to use this powerful tool.  We'll also explore how we can improve on the basic video underlying this Cappasity 360 view.  The goal will be to remove, as much as possible, any reflections that get in the way of our being able to see each detail without distraction. 

But, even with the current reflections, new details are emerging that might help us to decipher some clues that could tell us if it's of recent or ancient origins.  To help us deveope our observational skills, we'll explore details in the form of a series of questions or exercises.   Here is the first:

How does this 360 degree view help us better determine the overall condition of the object?

The best way to walk through this adventure is to become involved.  It would be great to see your responses to the questions posed in the comment section of each post.

HINT:  Try viewing this page on your phone or tablet.  The zoom capabilities with a touch screen interfqce are amazing!

Stay tuned... more to come!
