Google partners up with CyArK to preserve Historic Monuments in 3D for the future generations
Google's joint venture is said to capture monuments in 3D using laser scanners along with millimetre precision by using CyArk's 3D laser-scanning technology.
Google has recently made an announcement that it has collaborated with a non-profit organization named CyArk to help with the preservation of historically-significant architectural sites which are at a risk of permanent irreversible damage due to either natural disasters or because of human activities.
The collaboration is called the Open Heritage Project, and this joint venture is said to capture these monuments in 3D using laser scanners along with millimetre precision by using CyArk's 3D laser-scanning technology.
As per some sources from the web, the images will help in recreating the historical sites virtually in order to preserve them for the future generations even if any case the sites get damaged permanently due to some unfortunate events. Further, the images that are scanned are also expected to be used to recognize the areas of damage and will assist with the restoration of those sites. The 3D images can be accessed either on a computer, smartphone, or the virtual reality headsets.
Google said "As part of this new online exhibition you can explore stories from over 25 iconic locations across 18 countries around the world, including the Al Azem Palace in war-torn Damascus, Syria and the ancient Mayan metropolis of Chichen Itza in Mexico"
The reports further shed some light on the CyArK company. CyArK is said to have originally started the project and the company was founded by Ben Kacyra, who is one of the creators of the world's first three-dimensional laser scanning system. The Google Arts and Culture app is not only collaborating with the company but also giving up the access to the virtual treasure of 3D-scanned medieval architectural masterpieces for everyone. It would be interesting though to see how this feature will work. It is a great effort by the tech giant and CyArK to preserve the historical monuments for the coming generation.
Also in one of our recent articles related to Google, we covered that, Google is planning to roll out more intuitive navigation features in the US. As per some reports from the CNET, Google now offers navigation tips by making use of the fast food joints as reference points. The whole idea related to the new feature is to give the users direction based on stores that are easily recognizable by most of the users. Read the complete story here.
