Virtual reconstruction of Vernadskiy's family estate in the village of Vernadovka in Pichaievskiy district of the Tambov region

Abstract

In this article, we consider the technology of creating a virtual space of memorable places associated with famous personalities who lived or worked there. It includes: analysis of various information sources and databases about the places of residence of famous people and their activities during their stay; creation of preliminary drawings and cartographic images of the territory; development of photorealistic three-dimensional models. Creating a virtual space in the form of a Virtual Museum is carried out using an open source software platform OpenSimulator, which is a server platform for 3D virtual worlds. In this study, we have made a virtual reconstruction of V I Vernadskiy's family estate in the village of Vernadovka in Pitchaevskiy district of Tambov region related to objects, public and professional activities of an outstanding Russian scientist V I Vernadskiy.
