TL;DR Summary

Researchers have completed the first full-size digital scan of the Titanic wreck, using two remote operated submersibles to map every millimeter of the shipwreck and the surrounding 3-mile debris field. The resulting data, including 715,000 images, is 10 times larger than any underwater 3D model ever attempted before. The new photorealistic 3D model captures both the bow and stern section in clear detail, and researchers hope it will help them work out details of how the Titanic met its fate and allow people to interact with history in a fresh way. A documentary on the project is expected to come out next year.
