Cutting edge 3D recreations of War of 1812 era Baltimore
WJZ the CBS affiliate in Baltimore featured a news story on “Bearings of Baltimore Circa 1815″, a 3D representation of Baltimore during the War of 1812. Tamara Peters, from UMBC’s Imaging Research Center, led a team of researchers to study historical documents and create the 3D map.
Peters discussed the use of technology in the cutting-edge representation. “We are so used to today living through our smart phones and our iPads,” she said. “I think this is just a natural way for people of this generation to learn and to be exposed to things.”
“Bearings of Baltimore Circe 1815″ is on display at the Maryland Historical Society.
