В. А. Немтинов

Abstract

In this article, we examine the questions of using an open-source software platform Open Simulator 0.9.0 for virtual reconstruction of historically significant industrial facilities in the form of a virtual museum. Virtual museums have extensive educational and research capacity and contribute actively to preservation of cultural heritage. The use of modern information technologies allows drawing attention to the monuments of historical and cultural importance, as well as forming their modern image, and causing a desire to visit a real museum and see original works of art. The authors have created a Virtual Museum, which contributes to development of museum studies, promotion of local history and museum activities among the broad audience including younger generation. The Museum is a collection of three-dimensional models of industrial objects of The Nobel brothers oil production facilities located in the Tambov province (Russia), both existing and lost, or partially destroyed. These include manufacturing facilities of the Nobel family located close to the Platonovka station (nowadays Platonovka village of the Rasslazovskii district of the Tambov region) and etc.
