The Workshop was open to every age group and reached across the socioeconomic spectrum for participants, and it covered the process of creating a three-dimensional scan of objects using phone cameras and then placing the maneuverable image on to a website where it can be examined from various angles, and placed in different contexts using one’s phone cameras.

The Workshop was part of a broader examination of how museums can adopt this new technology in presenting artifacts. This partnership expanded the efforts to the general public.
