Msc comp-sci virtual museum project

For my dissertation in my master's degree computer science course, I did a project on optimising 3D scanning techniques and creating a basic 'virtual museum' I wanted to document some of the results here.

Final virtual museum- a little less ambitious than the early plans, but was graded well
