GHHN: Creating New Visions of an Old World: 3D modelling and AI in 1660s New Amsterdam
In 1660 Nicasius de Sille was famously making a list of every citizen living in New Amsterdam, and Jacques Cortelyou was creating the Castello Plan, a map that has fascinated scholars for 400 years, including the team at the Mapping Early New York project. Take a walk through the streets of New Amsterdam with 3D models, AI generated characters, maps, and an encyclopedia.
This presentation is part of the
