MISHA & the Cultural Heritage Imaging Lab

Location

Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science (CAR/076) - First Floor Hallway 1

People of all ages will learn about cultural heritage imaging, focused on a RIT developed multispectral imaging system for historical artifacts (MISHA). Kids will be able to explore and experiment with color and both UV and visible light to understand how this technology can be applied to historical documents by using interactives with historical materials, coloring sheets, and various color transparencies. Teenagers and adults will be able to learn about the technology directly, view the system, and learn about how RIT has developed as a world renowned center for cultural heritage imaging. The booth will be filled with color, lights, and visuals to demonstrate the technology for everyone.
