Scanning a Second Room in VR: My Office

This week, I scanned a second room for the Archive of Places. I'm switching groups, due to the fact that Object Based Media is closing down, and wanted a scan of my office, in full final-project-season-mess, to remember it by.

This room, I scanned with only 90 images. While it struggled a lot with the door, it was otherwise mostly fine. It also took less than an hour for each stage of rendering, as compared to the 1-3 hours for each stage of rendering the Compass. That will be good to keep in mind next week, when I need to render several more rooms.
