Description
Museum shelves hold beasts that most students and scholars will never see in the flesh, and each year of loss makes those shelves count more. Constanza Delgado and co-authors set out in 2026 the first Chilean plan for turning a zoo collection into 3D digital form. Their base is a university museum in Chile.
The plan walks through each step: how to scan each beast, how to build its model, and where the snags lie. It then sets out how to build the shared store where the models will live. Free access to that store can back both study and class work. It can also feed facts into wild life policy while species loss mounts.
