Egypt launched a new digital filter application to reconstruct damaged ancient Egyptian artefacts at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation.
Dubbed the Interactive Mobile Application to Promote Egyptian Antiquities, the project uses Virtual Reality technology to show how the selected uncomplete items originally looked thousands of years ago.
Ali Abdel-Halim, director general of the Egyptian Museum, said the Instagram filters, designed by technology giant Meta and overseen by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, started with some ancient artifacts, including a rock statue of ancient Egyptian King Tutankhamun.
