The 4D Research Lab (4DRL) at the University of Amsterdam employs digital 3D technologies and methods across a wide range of applications and assists researchers and students in their projects. Through collaborations with external researchers, museums and other cultural institutions, the lab undertakes projects in which 3D modelling methodologies are utilised to tackle research questions that cannot be addressed with traditional methods alone.
Case studies are diverse, ranging from single objects to entire neighbourhoods that are recorded, analysed and virtually reconstructed using specialised software and hardware such as drones, 3D scanners and photogrammetry equipment. The lab also collaborates in initiatives towards the development of interfaces and research hubs where 3D models and vi
