Cyberbuild is going to continue its collaboration with Historic Environment Scotland with this second 6-month project aimed at developing new tools for the processing of point clouds of historic stone masonry to support survey and maintenance activities.
Today, we had the chance to show the iHR to numerous children and their parents who work at Heriot-Watt University. We have received plenty of visits of curious people who sometimes had heard of us but had never seen the system.
We have been stormed by successive waves (classes) of children who then sadly had to orderly queue for trying the iHR system. Thanks ESP for inviting us!
Conversations were different from those in our usual engagement events, and it was nice to answer questions about the end purpose of the system, the type of reseach done in our department at Heriot-Watt, etc.
The ICE team, in collaboration with Animmersion Ltd is going to develop an immersive VR app to engage young people about energy efficiency in housing and corresponding careers in the AEC sector. The project is co-funded by CITB and SDS.
