Vistegutten Reconstructing with 3D Technology

3D ModelNoAI

I’m excited to share my involvement in Project Vistegutten, where we brought the past to life by creating a 3D printed skull from a medical CT scan. This project is a remarkable intersection of archaeology, forensic science, and advanced 3D technology.

Using DNA analysis and modern forensic techniques, scientists have reconstructed the face of a Stone Age boy who lived in Norway. The Vistegutten – the boy from Viste – died at only 14 years old. Although the cause of his early death remains unknown, it appears he was healthy. This ‘lonely boy’ with a deformed skull died in a cave in Norway 8,300 years ago.

My contributions included:

3D Scanning Photogrammetry CT Scan to 3D Printing Optimization for 3D Printing 3D Consulting with the sculptor and forensic artist Oscar D. Nilsson This project not only demonstrates the power of technology in uncovering historical mysteries but also emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration.
