ICEMAN PHOTO SCAN
Photographic scan of the entire body of the Iceman mummy

ABSTRACT
The Iceman Photo Scan is an innovative project which records the complete photographic documentation of the body of the Iceman mummy.
Thanks to 12 differing angle-shots it is possible to see the whole body of the mummy.
The intuitive zoom function enables a high-resolution  navigation, from a total body image down to millimetric detail.
The image at any enlargement guarantees both a perfect view and accurate colour reproduction.

PREFACE
This project represents a significant scientific contribution to the study and dissemination of knowledge on the oldest wet and natural mummy in the world.
The current preservation conditions of the mummy prevent the wider public from getting close to it. This project, however, will allow an in-depth virtual contact without compromising the sensitive preservation conditions. The objective is to provide an opportunity for the public to discover and study a cultural heritage, unique in the world.
In order to ensure the greatest possible access a modern website, which does not require any type of installation or subscription fee, has been set up.

Special section dedicated to the mummy's tattoos included
Particular attention has been deserved to the recording of the tattoos on the mummy's body. This section contains the complete mapping of the tattoos via high definition photos of the single interesting points.
It is also possible to compare and contrast the images taken with white light with those taken with a particular UV light.

3D-images section
An apposite selection of images, enables the 3D view of the mummy. The amazing show can be enjoyed exclusively by wearing the specific anaglyph glasses (cyano and red), which can be easily purchased.
