Accessible Art Must be Felt

Now, a new method uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) to recreate large portions of a painting in such a detailed manner that even the individual brush strokes are recreated.
Because OCT was originally created for medical research, it is typically used for very small areas. The team recreating artworks has put together a method for scanning larger areas that is time consuming, but will have great application for museums who want to create more inclusive spaces.
If you require help with vision impairment or blindness, please contact SDCB.
