Digital Documentation vs NeRV

Discover the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) by exploring the 3D models of Rosslyn Chapel and the Nagasaki Giant Cantilever Crane. 
Use this app in conjunction with our Short Guide historicenvironment.scot/dd-short-guide ABOUT THE SHORT GUIDE: 
Historic Environment Scotland’s free Short Guide, ‘Applied Digital Documentation in the Historic Environment’ looks at different data capture techniques that can be used in the analysis, recording, conservation and visualisation of historic objects, sites and landscapes in their present condition. 
Its’ case studies outlines the uses and applications of potentially vast, multi-layered datasets. Each section within the guide will present best practices, as well as fundamental principles that will assist those looking to undertake digital documentation. 
For the AR triggers, please view pages 84 and 85 within the guide. 
 ABOUT ROSSLYN CHAPEL: 
Rosslyn Chapel is a late medieval, listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument located in the village of Roslin, near Edinburgh. 
The Centre for Digital Documentation and Visualisation LLP (CDDV) is a partnership between Historic Environment Scotland and The Glasgow School of Art. Since 2008, CDDV has digitally documented the interior and exterior of Rosslyn Chapel using cutting-edge laser scanning technologies and 360° panoramic photography; the 3D laser scan data was later developed into a photorealistic, virtual 3D model of the chapel. 
 ABOUT THE NAGASAKI CRANE: 
The Giant Cantilever Crane is situated at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shipyard in Nagasaki, Japan. It is a major landmark in a city with strong historical links to Scotland. The crane itself was designed by the Glasgow Electric Crane and Hoist Company, and constructed by the Motherwell Bridge Company. 
The Centre for Digital Documentation and Visualisation LLP (CDDV) 3D laser scanned the crane as part of the Scottish Ten project, which digitally documented Scotland’s then five World Heritage Sites and a further five international heritage sites.

Step inside Futures Close and explore real UK homes from the 1910s to the 1990s, each highlighting energy-efficient technologies designed to reduce carbon footprints. The NeRV - Futures Close App offers an interactive way to understand how heating systems, insulation, and cutting-edge energy-saving solutions improve daily living. Futures Close represents a variety of UK building types, with nine properties you can intimately explore. Each home provides details on its environmental impact, running costs, and the unique challenges faced by its residents. Acting as a digital twin of the real site near Newcastle, the app gives access to live data from over 2,000 on-site sensors. See how actions, like turning on a light, affect room sensors and energy efficiency in real time. Whether you're onsite or exploring remotely, scan exteriors for guided tours or discover AR elements projecting eco-saving technologies inside and outside the properties. Plus, the built-in AI guide provides valuable insights as you navigate through the app. Key Features: - Explore UK homes from different eras, showcasing energy-saving interventions. - Real-time data from sensors to reveal the environmental impact and running costs of each property. - Interact with the environment and see real-time effects of your actions. - AR elements to visualise eco-saving technologies within and outside the homes. - AI-guided insights to enhance your learning experience.
