Checked Jacket, Atlanta 1996 Paralympic Games

3D Model

This was worn by British competitors at the Atlanta Paralympic Games in 1996. It has a tartan pattern and as well as the Union flag being on a raised badge, the tae-guks are in red, blue and green, the colours that the agitos would be in the future.

Created through the Digital Explorations Project, a dynamic project, funded by the Rothschild Foundation, National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Paralympic Heritage Trust (NPHT) with support from Heart of Bucks. Groups of participants from local disability organisations have been trained in the use of a 3D scanner and photogrammetry. They have shared the skills that they have learnt with students from a SEND school to create a 3D virtual exhibition of items from the NPHT collection.
