Million Image Database has a goal to create a permanent, open-acess archive of humanity’s history by the things we build – a Google Earth for heritage. Using 3D imaging kits they play an important role of digitizing the Middle Eastern heritage to preserve the memory of our past and mitigate the risk of possible damage or loss of precious cultural assets in the future.

Alexy Karenowska works at The Institute for Digital Archaeology (IDA), a joint venture between Harvard University, the University of Oxford and Dubai Future Foundation that promotes the development and use of digital imaging and 3D printing techniques in archaeology, epigraphy, art history and museum conservation.
