The talk was aimed at explaining how 3D laser scanning can be utilised to 'back up history' in the same way as you create backups of digital data.With the conference subtitle being on City Identity, it was noted that scanning could provide a snapshot in time, preserved for future generations.
Project examples were showcased to detail how the scans can be used as a highly accurate template for 3D modelling, with photo realistic visualisations.
Cyark was used as an example of how 3D laser scanning can be a valuable way to historic landscapes and historic monuments - preserving them digitally for future generations.
