The Future of the Past: Digital Twins and Living History (Masterclass)

Join us for an invite-only masterclass with part of the team behind the Terapixel Panorama Project—the digital twin of the Battle of Murten panorama.

Masterclass

Discover how cutting-edge technology is transforming a historic Swiss masterpiece into an immersive digital experience.

The Terapixel Panorama—part of EPFL’s DIAGRAM project—digitally reimagines the 1893 Panorama of the Battle of Murten as a 1.6 terapixel digital twin, making it the largest digital image of a single object ever made. Combining high-resolution imaging, immersive visualization, and historical research, the project uses innovative tools like 4D volumetric video and spatial soundscapes to bring new life to a pivotal moment in Swiss history.

Join us on June 24 for this invite-only masterclass—a special preview of the upcoming Terapixel Panorama exhibition launching in 2025, winner of the 2024 SFNS Agora Award. Designed for Bay Area historians, curators, and immersive tech innovators, the session offers exclusive access to project leaders Dr. Daniel Jaquet and Tonia Ramodiga.

Participants will explore how digital twins are reshaping cultural heritage preservation and interpretation, and get an early look at the cutting-edge tools and international exhibition series planned for 2025–26.

*This event is by invite only. Reach out to Sarah Burckhardt for more information.
