Driessens & Verstappen, Fulgurites Endoscopy (2001)
A fulgurite is a tubelike formation in sand or rock, caused by lightning. The immense heat in the core of the beam makes the sand vaporize, and a beautifully glazed inner surface remains. A machine is developed to observe these inner structures of fulgurites. The objects, mounted on an XY table can be viewed through an endoscope.

Chris Cornish: Footage from the 1979 film 'Stalker' by Andrei Tarkovsky is analysed for feature detail and parallax movement. Tracking markers near the camera will move more than those further away, allowing the software to deduce a cloud of 3D points in space. The 3D point cloud is joined to form a wireframe 3D mesh. This 3D shape is a simplified but accurate representation of the environment featured in the film clip. This landscape is then recreated in the real world in full scale sections.
