Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor and His Legacy

Featuring famed artefacts from the Shaanxi province in China, this exhibit centers on the display of the terracotta army buried near the tomb of the First Emperor of China, Shi Huangdi.

The tomb itself held thousands upon thousands of these pottery warriors and horses. The striking works were crafted with precision by ancient sculptors and artists. These impressive items were discovered by accident, when local farmers were digging for water in the 1970s. Today, there is still more to be uncovered, and archeologists are continually working to reveal every detail of the buried past. The artefacts reveal a unique story of the First Emperor and his armies.

At the exhibit, hundreds of artefacts are on display. In addition to terracotta warriors and horses, it includes works of bronze and jade dating back to before Shi Huangdiā€™s ascension. The display highlights new theories and asks interesting questions surrounding what is known about the emperor and his terracotta army.

Haroko Studio was commissioned to create a 360 degree interactive virtual tour of this Terracotta Warriors exhibition. Our studio was honoured to receive this historical commission, and we have strived to create a virtual tour of the highest quality.

 

The Challenges

The challenges of shooting the virtual tour photography for this exhibition were many. There were several reflective display casings, lighting arrangements from various angles, and lots of shadows. Only through meticulous planning were we able to angle and edit our photos to eliminate any visual flaws and create a seamless experience for viewers.

The reflective casings of the artifacts posed a challenge for photography. By using HDR photography and digital imaging know-how, we were able to make the unnecessary reflections disappear.
Museum lighting is difficult because lights are positioned for optimal viewing of the exhibits through the eye, not the camera lens. This lighting results in many unwanted shadows being captured by the photographer. We used digital imaging technology to remove unnecessary shadows and recover the natural shadows of the artifactā€”in this case it is the Terracotta Warrior and the Horseā€”to create a seamless viewer experience.
