The weird 3D tourist
When getting rid of point clouds addiction is not easy!

As part of my job and research work, I'm always into the digital representation of the built environment, even when off-duty. It's mostly a state-of-mind attitude, I suppose. That's probably why I cannot behave like ordinary visitors especially when I am a tourist on holidays for the first time in Paris!
Dealing historically a lot with point clouds, I simply couldn't help taking pictures aimed at the 3D reconstruction of some amazing details I found at the Louvre museum and at the Sainte-Chapelle. Ok, ok... I couldn't bring my laser scanning equipment on holidays but, damn, my smartphone was with me! So, thanks to Luisa's patience, I spent a little time heavily photoshooting the Venus de Milo and a metope of the Parthenon, plus a very nice decoration placed at the Sainte-Chapelle first floor entrance.
