The 3D digital video/model of the Ghonnella has been crucial for the project as it allows for a detailed visual representation of this traditional Maltese garment, preserving its structure, craftsmanship, and cultural significance. By creating an accurate digital reconstruction, researchers, designers, and the public can interactively explore its unique form, internal framework, and draping techniques. This technology enhances heritage preservation, enabling future generations to study and appreciate the Ghonnella without risking damage to fragile historical pieces.
