But beyond that, Geffen says he hopes the new technology will help researchers work out details of how the Titanic met its fate and allow people to interact with history in a fresh way. Researchers have spent seven months rendering the large amount of data they gathered, and a documentary on the project is expected to come out next year. ![]() He said the new photorealistic 3D model captures both the bow and stern section, which had separated upon sinking, in clear detail - including the serial number on the propeller.
