Google has launched Google Art Project. a site that displays digital images of museum collections in the world. What kind of technology?
Country Head, Google Indonesia, Google explains Rudy Ramawi Art Project is a web-based applications that use Java-based Google App Engine. This site is present in the infrastructure developed by Google and the Google APIs available to the public.
There are two main areas within the site Google Art Project. The first area is the "Museum View" which uses Street View technology. Here visitors can explore the galleries and museums that have been part in the Google Art Project.
The method is the same as Street View on Google Maps that lets internet users explore a virtual street. At each museum or gallery, the works of art displayed on the map based on latitude and longitude position, and displayed with a click through image annotation Street View museum.
"From here, visitors can click to watch works of art," Rudy said after the launch of Google Art Project at the National Museum Jakarta, Wednesday (04/04/2012).
The second area is "Microscope View". This technology uses Picasa application to display artwork in a very high resolution.
Site visitors can zoom in or zoom down to the smallest details of the image, which allows them to see the detail that was previously only seen them through the content displayed by Google Scholar, Google Docs, and YouTube APIs.
Some museums choose one work of art to be displayed with high-resolution scale 'gigapixel'. Visual art is pixel-scale about 7 billion, or about 1,000 times more detailed than that generated by the resolution of digital cameras in general.
To produce produce images with resolution so high, Google Art Project teams use professional cameras and computer systems and equipment movers "multisyncronise".
After thousands of pictures taken, then the images are then put back together using technology Picasa. All artwork images on Google Art Project then organized into smaller components so that all pixels of high resolution can be adapted efficiently with zoom scale and speed of images displayed paintings.
Internet users can also share their experiences with the Art Project to friends, family or to their study groups. Only the log-in using your Google, site visitors can create a personal gallery that displays a collection of works of their choice.
"With a short URL Google, site visitors can submit links to their personal gallery by email or social media," he explained.
Although able to be divided, a collection of works of art that already exists in Google's Art Project can not be saved as a private collection or misused to produce a spurious work.
Google has provided special security on any picture or video in the Google Art Project.
"Users can share photos or video via email and social media but can not be downloaded to be saved. Because the resolution of the image will be instantly changed little," he explained.
