Graphometer – Bringing Historical Instruments to Life in Virtual Museums

Graphometer – Bringing Historical Instruments to Life in Virtual Museums

We digitized and integrated the Graphometer, a classical surveying instrument, into a virtual museum experience—making it accessible and interactive for online visitors. Through high-detail 3D modeling and web-based visualization, users can:

Explore the Graphometer in 360°: rotate, zoom, and interact with the instrument in a virtual environment.
Understand its historical context and usage: view annotated parts, historical background, and how it was used in land surveying.
Experience learning interactively: use simulation features to see how angles and measurements were taken in the past.
Access from anywhere: no installation needed, fully accessible via browser across devices.

This project helps preserve scientific heritage and makes technical history engaging for students, researchers, and the general public—highlighting how virtual museums can educate and inspire through immersive technology.

“VMT modeled a large industrial building for our research project in 3D from 2D plans (floor plans, sections, elevations). We provided VMT with DWG files, and the result was a highly detailed model including the building envelope, interior walls, openings, and staircases. A German company was initially hired for the same project, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out at all. I was all the more relieved that VMT handled it so reliably. Thank you for the excellent work and the truly fair price!”

“You guys at VMTS have been exceeding our own expectations since we started cooperating: we could not expect a better agency than yours. Both our companies will become big if we both continue to work this way”

The drawings are outstanding—I’ve never seen anything like them from other partners. I must acknowledge that these are truly exceptional. I want to express my deep gratitude for your work once again. I will always choose you as my top partner and recommend you to many of my other contacts.
