Treasures of the Bavarian State Library in 3D

Masterpieces of the Bavarian State Library in 3D: The Bavarian Regional Library Online (BLO) proudly presents 14 extraordinary specimens from the collections of the Bavarian State Library, including works enlisted in the UNESCO Memory of the World register. All manuscripts and rare books can be viewed not only as two-dimensional images, but also in a new threedimensional way. Software solutions developed in cooperation between the Munich Digitzation Center (MDZ), the Bavarian State Library (BSB) and the Microbox GmbH allow the digital recreation of books in rare detail, thus trying to copy the physical experience of reading in virtual space.
