New technology in light projection is now being used for reconstruction purposes. This 16th century German mural, missing a sequence from its ceiling, was restored by combinging a watercolor copy of the missing portion from the Rudesheim municipal archive with digital imagery. A specially designed software also allowed for the projection to adapt to the curvature of the wall, making the reconstruction that much more life-like. Michaela Janke, creator of this new conservation method stated, "its non-invasive and completely reversible. It also helps the spectator clearly distinguish between the original and the newly restored areas. It's not an attempt to mislead the spectator into thinking that the mural is completely original"
