Integration into Heritage Databases
We're making solid progress on integrating eCorpus 3D scenes into heritage databases. Two initial integrations have been completed on the National Conservatory of 3D Data (CND3D) platform, in preparation for their publication on Europeana.
These 3D scenes were created as part of the European Twin-it project and feature the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile and the stage set model for Act IV, Scene 2 of Verdi's opera Aïda.
SITEM 2026
The University of Lille, CNRS, and Holusion were at SITEM last month representing the new 3D Competency Center. If you stopped by our booth, you got a chance to try out the latest version of the Coronelli Globes presentation app! It'll be deployed soon at the Hospice Comtesse Museum in Lille. While the interface is fully custom, eCorpus is the backbone, both as the foundation and the content editing tool !
Villa Medici
The 2026 Pro Residency at the French Academy in Rome brought together 250 high school students from the Hauts-de-France region to the Villa Medici. The students experienced something truly memorable: a mix of emotion, inspiration, and pride in representing their schools at one of the most iconic venues for artistic creation.
Each of the 10 participating schools presented a masterwork from their discipline, created over the course of the school year. For the occasion, every one of their creations was 3D-digitized, to preserve them, deepen the students' artistic research, and keep a record of the creative process that unfolded in the months leading up to the Rome trip.
The 3D models are hosted on a dedicated eCorpus platform for schools in the Hauts-de-France region and were exhibited in Rome with support from the Campus des Métiers et Qualifications des Métiers d’Art et du Patrimoine.
eCorpus Optimizes Models and Gets a Fresh Look
A new version of the eCorpus interface has just been released, along with an automatic 3D file reprocessing system. With this update, you can now automatically optimize your GLB files when you create a new scene.
What's New in the Latest Version of Voyager
Dpo-voyager is the 3D scene editing and viewing tool that powers eCorpus. The latest updates bring some new features:
- New audio formats supported (.m4a, .flac, .ogg, and .wav)
- Lighting improvements:
- Light tags. These let you build lighting setups with multiple sources and switch between them effortlessly using tags.
- Better lighting support in guided tours.
- A new "Sun" light type whose direction, intensity, and color shift based on latitude/longitude, date, and time. (Tutorial coming soon!)
- Community-driven translations: Voyager now lets you contribute to interface translations via Weblate. No coding skills required!
