Abstract:
In today’s world there is a growing urgency to protect artifacts and important
landmarks due, to environmental factors and human activities. As a result, experts and
conservationists are reevaluating their methods realizing the need for approaches to
address the challenges facing cultural sites. In the realm of technology advancements,
tools like 3D point cloud data, laser scanning and augmented reality (AR) have become
essential for preservation efforts. These tools go beyond reacting to issues by taking
steps to prevent risks. The use of 3D point cloud data allows for replicas of
archaeological sites and structures helping conservationists preserve intricate details
that are at risk of damage. AR technologies play a role in enhancing preservation work
by offering experiences that support virtual exploration and education promoting
greater awareness and respect for our shared past. Central to these pursuits is a
commitment to safeguarding cultural heritage that goes beyond simple preservation
efforts.
Researchers aim to deepen our understanding of humanity’s tapestry through
interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative methods. Their goal is to develop
solutions that can be passed down through generations ensuring access, to and
appreciation of our collective heritage. At the intersection of preserving heritage and
embracing technology this academic study offers a broad perspective, on the use of 3D
point cloud data and augmented reality. It opens up ways to understand and protect our
shared heritage.
