  4. 3D printing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

3D digitization refers to the process of creating digital representations of cultural artifacts using 3D scanning technologies. This involves capturing the physical dimensions and details of an artifact using specialized scanners, and then converting the captured data into a digital 3D model.

Multiple choice

What is the term for the visual effect created when an object appears to move faster or slower than its actual speed?

  1. Time-lapse

  2. Slow motion

  3. Fast motion

  4. Stop motion
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Slow motion is a technique where the footage is played back at a slower speed than it was recorded, creating the illusion of slower movement.
