In August 2023, Jorge Cano and Carlos San Juan completed the installation of a Selene Photometric Stereo System inside the Princeton University Library. This pioneering recording system developed by Jorge Cano and the Factum Arte engineering team is the first of its kind ever installed in the US and is part of a larger initiative - the Selene Club.

The installation was followed by a training session for the Princeton Library Digital Imaging department led by Roel Muñoz, and tests were carried out on several items from the library. As demonstrated through the work done at ARCHiOx, the Selene is able to capture the surface of items at a resolution of one million pixels per square inch and record height variations equivalent to less than a fifth the width of a human hair. Both 3D information and colour are simultaneously and efficiently recorded at the same time. 

More information coming soon.
