Historical and cultural sites are a very important part of human collective memory, and we are losing them at an alarming rate. Recently, Microsoft and non-profit organization CyArk have created a new website, CyArk.org, using advanced 3D laser scanning and Web technology to showcase the world's most precious cultural sites. CyArk has created a series of 3D models of famous cultural sites around the world through 3D scanning.
The new website uses advanced hardware acceleration and WebGL technology to help users view 3D models smoothly through the browser. These cultural sites are even accurate to 0.5 inches, and are best viewed through Internet Explorer.
The move is part of Microsoft's Rethink initiative, encouraging everyone to rethink what the Web can look like. Microsoft is trying to redefine the network through such activities to reshape its reputation.
The goal of CyArk and its partners is to preserve these cultural heritage through digital means to avoid their disappearance in the long river of time due to war, terrorism, arson, urban expansion, climate change, earthquakes, floods or other reasons.
In May of this year, CyArk launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to raise funds for 3D digital storage of the Tent of Tomorrow and Astro-Towers at the New York State Pavilion at the 1964-65 World Exposition. The project successfully raised $15,742 from 121 supporters.
This time, CyArk's ambitious goal is to digitally preserve 500 cultural sites in the next five years.
To date, CyArk has completed the digital preservation of 40 historical and cultural sites, including Pompeii, Babylon, Mt. Rushmore, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Sydney Opera House, and the nearest Tower of London.
CyArk also invites cultural relics, relevant governments, organizations and individuals to submit cultural sites, which are then evaluated by the CyArk 500 Advisory Council to determine whether they can be included in the 500 digital preservation cultural sites.
It is worth mentioning that Nokia has also used the HERE True Technology mapping system with CyArk to generate real-world models of the city through panoramic cameras, lidar scanners and GPS sensors. They used this technology to create a 3D real-world model for Philadelphia.
