However, the digitization of three-dimensional objects has posed various challenges. By utilizing techniques for duplicating flat objects, it is now possible to replicate three-dimensional objects with unprecedented detail. Through a 3D transformation technique known as photographic surveying, not only is it possible to reproduce an object&#8217;s 3D data, but also replicate its textures and color in high detail. With the spread of 3D printing technology, the use of 3D data will likely expand and digital archives will become a standard practice.<\/p>\n<h4>From a passive to active simulation environment<\/h4>\n<p>Generally, digital archives have only allowed users to enlarge objects. However, with 3D data, not only is it possible to freely rotate objects, but also adjust their lighting and background colors. \u00a0For the Tsubouchi Theatre Memorial Museum which houses a great number of precious pieces, this technology makes it possible to use natural lighting or lighting produced from a torch to reproduce a theatrical environment, leading users to new discoveries.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-general btn-lg btn-block global-bgcolor global-hv-bgcolor-dark global-bdcolor global-hv-bdcolor-dark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.enpaku.waseda.ac.jp\/db\/epk3d\/\">3D Database (Japanese)<span class=\"iconset btn-pinned-right\">\uf76d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-general btn-lg btn-block global-bgcolor global-hv-bgcolor-dark global-bdcolor global-hv-bdcolor-dark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.enpaku.waseda.ac.jp\/db_en\/index-e.html\">Digital Archives Collection (English)<span class=\"iconset btn-pinned-right\">\uf76d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tsubouchi Memorial Theatre Museum&#8217;s 3D database was officially launched on June 17 following a serie [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":29167,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[81,117],"tags":[185,167],"class_list":["post-29216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-topic","tag-arts-en","tag-culture-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
