FUNES is a digital archive that converts physical monuments and cultural heritage sites into 3D models, panoramic images, and narrated guided tours.
The platform targets a real preservation gap: physical sites degrade, get destroyed, or become inaccessible, and most existing digitization efforts produce flat photo archives rather than navigable spatial records. FUNES produces structured, high-quality geometry alongside contextual storytelling layers.
The source material is thin, but the concept points toward a larger question worth investigating: who owns the canonical digital record of a cultural site, and what standards govern its fidelity. Read the original to assess what FUNES is actually building versus what it is promising.
