Fantastic work and presentation! Could you share more about the scanning process and the rendering tech?

Thanks for visiting and the feedback! I 3d scanned the interior with a Leica BLK 360 and Matterport Pro 2 following a similar process as I did at Luxor Temple here: https://blog.mused.org/digitizing-luxor-temple-a-virtual-field-trip-for-students-around-the-globe/

I'll write up a new post about Khufu next.

I used the Matterport SDK with Three.js to build the Guided Tour version because in the past this has been much more accessible to our users than alternative methods in game engines.

I'd previously been building digital exhibitions for museums and libraries often enough that by working with a few of my friends from other cultural heritage projects, we experimented with integrating a virtual guided tour and digital exhibition content (longer form narratives, item/artifact records + metadata, membership signup, etc.). That's what we're working on now.
