Why 3D Scan a City?

3D capture using handheld, vehicle, and drone mounted sensors, as well as 360 imaging, 3D modelling and visualisation, allows us to document and digitally recreate archaeological sites and other heritage assets. Capturing snapshots in time that record a slice of history. Mitigating loss where archaeology and heritage are at risk of destruction, documenting heritage, helping plan for the future, and much more.
