Virtual tour of Gateway of India likely to become reality

Mumbai | Friday | 22nd February, 2019

Summary:

The digital surface model will enable a study of its geometric shape with nearly 100 per cent accuracy of minute dimensions, which can be replicated. These lesser known sights may soon be viewed digitally if plans for a virtual tour of the structure are implemented. While scanning the monument, we identified that the sea-facing side was more damaged than the other sides. The 3D models and architectural drawings can be used as a baseline to monitor the monument’s surface for future changes in its condition. The project, presently underway and likely to be completed in two months, will collect data and images from the field and turn it into photo-real 3D models..
