SHARP Memories

PERSONAL

A 3D preservation experiment: sixty-year-old snapshots of the 1964 World's Fair, restored with AI and run through Apple's SHARP model into Gaussian Splats. A navigable 3D scene from the photographer's exact vantage point.

Digitization

Album photographs restored from a single source: scans of old prints, brought back to life and then translated into navigable 3D space.

Immersion

The restored Gaussian Splats were brought into the Apple Vision Pro, turning the reconstructed memories into a walkable 3D environment for first-time viewers to step inside.
