While viewing the interactive tour of the museum, I noticed the mannequins faces were blurred out. Another mystery unfolds.

What ever soft ware was used, it blurred out the faces. The one behind the Fordson looks to be a lady. Not very interactive friendly site, the pictures are blurry and don't seem to load very well.

The Link to the tour of the Museum indicated "Matterport" so I figured they were doing the imaging. So the have software like Google uses to put you on the street. The software automatically detects people (and mannequins) and blurs faces
