Holden Observatory -- 3D Scanning a Full Size Building!

After scanning a few people, some art, and even my cat I was approached by Arland Whitfield, founder of Skyworks, with the idea to put our heads together & scan something BIG.

The building we decided on was Holden Observatory on Syracuse University's campus, being one of the oldest buildings in the area and at a little over 2 stories tall it was the perfect sized challenge to try and bite off.

PROCESS Study

From my experiments scanning regular sized objects, I knew there were 3 basic angles we needed to capture in order to get the scan.

1. Low and angled up  2. High and angled down  3. Directly above and straight down
