Multisensory Interpretation between 2D and 3D: Case Study on the Inclusive Technology Interpreted Application of Black and White Photographic Images in the NTMoFA Collection

Abstract

In 2021, The National Center of Photography and Images (NCPI) was officially inaugurated. Comparing to other media, photography is difficult to be the targets of multi-sensory interpretation with multisensory because the real image from physical environment with diverse viewpoints. This study considers how to transferr two-dimensional image into the realistic three-dimensional reproduction with specific angle of view and explore the deeper thinking and skills of photographers by using inclusive technology methods such as reverse engineering scanning, 3D printing, and color restoration. The research objects are three photographic works collected in the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts as the research objects, Lang Ching-Shan’s “Deers in Forest”, Chen Shih-An’s “Ball Throw Competition”, and Shen Chao-Liang’s “Reflections of Nan-fang-ao-2”. The results presented that there are obvious differences in the theme characteristics, spatial structure, and object attributes of the three works. The curator based on the principles of the photographer’s point of view, image projection point of view, and imaging method to carry out as the selection criteria and formed three three-dimensional reproduction interpreting design methods of realistic photographic images, 2D relief interaction, 3D full-stereo simplification, 3D perspective ratio restoration. Some visually impaired audiences were interviewed and responded that the three-dimensional reproduction of the two-dimensional image with audio descriptions (AD) is more effective than only the AD guide information, or the raised-line tactile pictures with AD. In sum, the methods of imagery in multisensory interpretation can be the design principles for museums or art galleries to promote inclusive education and application.
