But that is exactly what the School of Simulation and Visualisation at the Glasgow School of Art, in Glasgow, Scotland, did in order to create a precise 3D image, which will be compared to future scans to monitor rates of decay and damage over the years. The school has been using laser scanning for over a decade, having scanned five Scottish World...Read full article
