CBS Baltimore featured a news story on “Bearings of Baltimore Circa 1815”, a 3D representation of Baltimore during the War of 1812. Tamara Peters, from UMBC’s Imaging Research Center, led a team of researchers to study historical documents and create the 3D map.
Peters discussed the use of technology in the cutting-edge representation. “We are so used to today living through our smart phones and our iPads,” she said. “I think this is just a natural way for people of this generation to learn and to be exposed to things.”
“Bearings of Baltimore Circe 1815” is on display at the Maryland Historical Society. Click here to watch the video on the CBS Baltimore website.
