The Majestic Samaúma is a web-based tool funded by the Centres of Asia-Pacific Excellence. A 3D animated model of a photogrammetry-scanned samaúma tree in the Amazon rainforest is at its centre. Entering the webpage, viewers are taken to a full-page interactive visual of the real-life samaúma scanned using drone-captured photogrammetry.
As the viewer scrolls down the page, the animation zooms to a tree level then into the tree to reveal its processes.
The site is useful for teaching/exploring global citizenship through an indigenous Latin America lens.
Please note the model is only usable with a desktop computer.
