The Parlormade 3D Model is an engaging and creative way to educate and share with visitors the rich history of this shops’ past. The owners of the scone house wanted a way to share the fascinating stories from the building’s history in a way that could be engaged with while sitting inside enjoying a scone and a cup of tea or before customers even stepped foot inside. The photogrammetry model serves as a virtual tour of the building through all three levels and gives a sense of the size of the building when taken apart from its surrounding neighbours in the Shambles area of York.

To produce a full model of a building like Parlormade, photogrammetry models of each floor were created by taking hundreds of pictures thoroughly capturing each space. Similarly, the exterior needed to be fully captured. For this, drone (or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)) Structure from Motion (SfM) 3D modeling was used to reach the high angles required.
