00:00This 3D digital scan of the Titanic is made up of 715,000 images and a high-resolution video.
00:07The new images show the shipwreck with detail and clarity that has never been achieved before.
00:12The digital twin of the Titanic is part of an underwater digital recording project
00:16that mapped the shipwreck in its entirety, including the surrounding three-mile debris field.
00:21Two submersibles named Romeo and Juliet captured the images and videos over a six-week period.
00:28Previous images of the shipwreck have been poorer quality due to low light and murky water,
00:33and have left historians with many unanswered questions about how the Titanic sank to the
00:37bottom of the ocean. Questions that Atlantic Productions, the company producing a documentary
00:42about this underwater project, hope to answer. The chief executive and creative director of
00:47Atlantic Productions said artificial intelligence could potentially be used to match personal items
00:53in the debris field with specific passengers. Atlantic Productions also believes that people
00:58will one day be able to experience the shipwreck via virtual and augmented realities.
