One of the unique aspects of The Antiques Affair would not be possible with out the supporting technology. We have developed a fact-discovery interaction system, together with a custom editing tool, which allows a designer to tag a 3D model (e.g. an antique vase) with location-based information that can be discovered by the user via touch-screen based manipulation (a combination of rotation and zoom) of the object in 3D space. While we are using this for antiques, it could be applied to any 3D object. If this system is of interest to you or your company, please get in touch!
