For
Heritage researchers, local communities, and preservationists
Worth noticing
Models preserve measurable geometry, profiles, and tool marks rather than functioning as ordinary photographs.

Field notes

The project combines field capture with documentary research: a photogrammetric model supplies measurable geometry, while archival records can connect an object to a name, date, and local history. The homepage specifically mentions sacred sculpture, monuments, carvings, and burials, and says models may support remote research or physical replicas. It lists a Ternopil registration from 2016 and identifies the organization as a Time Machine Organisation member.
