Digital Documentation Companion

Ontdek het potentieel van Augmented Reality (AR) door 3D-modellen te verkennen


Discover the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) by exploring the 3D models of Rosslyn Chapel and the Nagasaki Giant Cantilever Crane.


Use this app in conjunction with our Short Guide historicenvironment.scot/dd-short-guide


This app uses Augmented Reality (AR). The AR experience should not be used by children without adult supervision. Always be aware of your surroundings while using AR.


ABOUT THE SHORT GUIDE:


Historic Environment Scotland’s free Short Guide, ‘Applied Digital Documentation in the Historic Environment’ looks at different data capture techniques that can be used in the analysis, recording, conservation and visualisation of historic objects, sites and landscapes in their present condition.


Its’ case studies outlines the uses and applications of potentially vast, multi-layered datasets. Each section within the guide will present best practices, as well as fundamental principles that will assist those looking to undertake digital documentation.


For the AR triggers, please view pages 84 and 85 within the guide.


ABOUT ROSSLYN CHAPEL:


Rosslyn Chapel is a late medieval, listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument located in the village of Roslin, near Edinburgh.


Since 2008, Historic Environment Scotland, with partners at The Glasgow School of Art, have digitally documented the interior and exterior of Rosslyn Chapel using cutting-edge laser scanning technologies and 360° panoramic photography; the 3D laser scan data was later developed into a photorealistic, virtual 3D model of the chapel. © Historic Environment Scotland. 3D assets created jointly by Historic Environment Scotland and The Glasgow School of Art.


ABOUT THE NAGASAKI CRANE:


The Giant Cantilever Crane is situated at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shipyard in Nagasaki, Japan. It is a major landmark in a city with strong historical links to Scotland. The crane itself was designed by the Glasgow Electric Crane and Hoist Company, and constructed by the Motherwell Bridge Company.


The crane was 3D laser scanned as part of the Scottish Ten project, which digitally documented Scotland’s then five World Heritage Sites and a further five international heritage sites. © Historic Environment Scotland. 3D assets created jointly by Historic Environment Scotland and The Glasgow School of Art.
