3D Heritage embodies Arctur's commitment to creating solutions that make a positive impact on the world, in this case, by preserving and sharing the treasures of our cultural heritage. It goes beyond the capabilities of a typical online 3D viewer by offering these unique functionalities:

  • Safe Haven for Large 3D Models: It leverages Arctur's Data Center in Slovenia, providing secure and reliable storage specifically tailored for the demands of large, complex 3D models cultural heritage objects often require.
  • Effortless 3D Model Exploration: Experience smooth and fast viewing of even the most intricate 3D models, without the need to download or install any special software. It utilizes progressive loading, ensuring a seamless experience where model quality improves as you zoom in for a closer look.
  • Measurement Made Easy: Integrated directly within the viewer are easy-to-use tools for measuring distances, heights, surface areas, and angles within your 3D models. This functionality empowers researchers, educators, and anyone interested in cultural heritage to gain deeper insights from these digital representations.
  • Seamless Europeana Integration: Sharing your 3D heritage with the world is effortless (through oEmbed functionality). 3D Heritage automates XML generation (EDM format), ensuring your contribution (through your preferred aggregator) reaches Europeana, Europe's central digital cultural platform.

Arctur’s data center incorporates advanced technologies to guarantee the safety and security of your data:

  • Redundant network and internet connectivity: Ensures uninterrupted service and accessibility.
  • Reliable UPS system with backup power generation: Protects against power outages and data loss.
  • Efficient cooling system with free-cooling capabilities: Optimizes energy usage while maintaining optimal data center temperature.
  • Photovoltaic system for sustainable energy use: Leverages renewable energy sources for a greener footprint.
  • Advanced security measures: Intrusion detection, access control, and video surveillance safeguard your data.
  • 24/7 monitoring and security: Constant vigilance ensures the integrity and safety of your 3D models.
