Web Museum: Virtual reality battle

Google is not the first one to eat, "the network Museum of Art," the crab guy, but probably is by far the biggest of the big man. In the last century, the beginning of this century, the early explorers would have been a number of works of art onto the net. Recently, Google launched the ambitious Google heavy art project, this "spark" into the prairie fire.

However, for the 70 million pixels resolution, presented by Museum of Art, is the closer the distance between ordinary people and art, or to abandon the traditional way to enjoy the pleasure of people from different perspectives.

Virtual reality comparable to

Not long ago, Google added a guide below the home page - Google Art Project, the plan proposed earlier this year, on the home position, and finally to Google's digital Art from the backstage. It is considered the "Google Library" and "street map" in the arts of the extension.

Without going around London Tate Gallery, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Paris, Versailles, 17 of the top art galleries, sitting at home, you can visit a dozen world-renowned art galleries or museums and enjoy the thousands of pieces of famous paintings, but also high-definition 3D version.

Reporters noted that Home has a navigation bar and the 17 participating galleries link directory. These galleries are located in Europe, the main collection of Western classical oil painting, have less modern and contemporary art. Alexandros like the "Minoan Venus," Rembrandt's "Night Watch", Van Gogh's "Starry Night" are among them.

If you want to leave the pieces as a souvenir photograph, without fear of being blocked off by other tourists, not to worry about being the administrator to block. High resolution paintings, some well-known works of the resolution can reach 70 million, can be seen to the naked eye can not detect the details. "Even if want to learn techniques from the paintings are achievable." A Wuhan Museum staff lamented.

According to media reports, Google's online art galleries, world-class masterpieces, collecting more than 1000.

Why develop an online museum? Google Vice President Neil Semir Santos told the media that the next few years, Google will further expand the "art project", so that those who can not see the original of people use the Internet to close and appreciate art.

Whether the need exists

Museum of Art with high-tech means to move the Internet, Google is undoubtedly the biggest one momentum. And Google scanning books with the copyright dispute when compared to "art project" resistance is much smaller, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, the National Museum, are specially selected in the greatest treasures in a "star works" for 70 million pixels single display, such as Van Gogh "Starry Night" and so on.

Foreign Art bustling Internet, people reflect on the domestic status quo. In fact, the Art Museum of China, Today Art Museum and other similar schemes already, limited technical and financial, is stuck in the upload photo scanning stage, far from the "fiber cents," the resolution. Fan Dian, China Art Museum, said in media interviews, "an extension of the use of modern media, art galleries, the museum's public education resources, should be the future direction of development, deal with specific issues, is not so simple." A few years ago, the Dunhuang Research hospital cost of 10 million yuan, the Mellon Foundation in cooperation with the United States "Digital Dunhuang murals collaborative research" project, completed 42 caves "virtual tour" production. The United States pioneered the "Mellon International Dunhuang files" in China, these results are lying in the safe, because "domestic piracy is too rampant, image data was too easy to be pirated."

Even solve the problems of copyright and technology, how to look at the new Museum of the network format, the industry still controversial. Rare works of art become within reach, this will undermine the entity Museum of Art, "only have" influence it?

Some critics have suggested that "Van Gogh's talent can be disassembled into a pixel, and do we doubt it very much. Watch the environment light, atmosphere and space, people will have a major impact on the artistic experience no matter how advanced technology, The new website will never replace the museum. "Despite this, most ordinary people, especially visitors, or the network Museum of Art welcomed, after all, no matter which way the museum there, as long as the art of beauty delivered to each member of the audience's eyes, so that they can enjoy a history through the art of influence, the museum's significance in the.
