Since April 2023, Katie Wolfe has worked as a scanning technician on the DPO’s 3D team, where she works to grow the amount of 3D digitized assets from the Smithsonian’s collection. Prior to coming to the Smithsonian, Katie worked for a 3D scanning company and specialized in 3D digitization for museums, high-profile artists, and the VFX industry. She has worked on hundreds of 3D scanning projects varying from capturing fingerprint ridges to entire city blocks.
Eric's passion for all things 3D was kicked-off by a digital brick cow from his youth. Since that pivotal moment he has been captivated by the intentional, and creative, use of technology, wearing many hats in the process (designer, developer, UX, etc.). He has spent the last 20 years demystifying technologies (3D Scanning, VR/AR, 3D Printing, etc.) while building high impact teams/products for academia, research, healthcare, and entertainment.
