We begin with prompts and archival research to co-create concept tablets, letting generative AI trace luminous guidelines over ancient ideas.
The Hermes Initiative
A student-driven research lab conjuring lifelike reconstructions of ancient Greece. We blend photogrammetry, AI generative scene building, and WebXR delivery so every visitor steps into history.
Our Mission
We are a team of students passionate about preserving cultural heritage through cutting-edge technology. By combining photogrammetry, 3D modeling, and virtual reality, we create immersive digital archives that make ancient Greek archaeological sites accessible to everyone, everywhere.
Accessible Across All Platforms
Student-driven. Research-focused. Preserving history for future generations.
Our Methodology
A hybrid pipeline fusing generative ideation with rigorous field capture to deliver immersive, research-grade experiences.
Photogrammetry teams sweep the site with drones and cinema cameras, capturing golden-hour lighting that grounds every surface in reality.
Point clouds knit into a responsive mesh while AI fills the gaps—yielding clean topology and rich textures ready for interaction.
Audiences explore the Acropolis reborn through VR headsets and tablets, stepping through portals that blend past and present.
Living Reconstruction
From abstract signal to embodied space
The same pipeline powering our methodology culminates in a tactile, explorable fragment of the Acropolis. Rotate the scene to see how light, depth, and texture converge into a shareable experience.
