Greenwood Village,
Colo. – Critigen, a global technology consultancy for critical
infrastructure, in conjunction with the National Park Service and CyArk, has
completed field work on the San Antonio Mission project – a project that
involves the digital documentation of four of the Missions of San Antonio as
well as the oldest continually used aqueduct in North
America.
The
San Antonio Missions digital preservation project provides a three-dimensional,
digital model capable of recreating built surfaces with an accuracy of less than
1 centimeter. The digital archives are so detailed and accurate that the Texas
Board of Education is considering using it in its high school history
curriculums. “What we’re creating here is history for the iPod generation," said
John Brown, Critigen’s senior 3DLS practice leader.
Critigen boasts the
world's largest, private geospatial consultancy and most often leverages its
expertise to fuse location-based data with business information to provide a
powerful capability for solving business problems. It's a burgeoning business
sector; in fact global spending on SIM services is expected to reach $14 billion
by 2011.
