Researchers Use Artec 3D Scanners to Re-Construct Buddhist Shine Caves

In the Shanxi province of China, about 36 kilometers south of Taiyun City, stands the Heavenly Dragon Mountain, or Tianlongshan. In the sixth century, Buddhist monks began construction on a series of caves that would serve as shrines filled with sculptures and carvings of the Buddha, bodhisattvas, and sacred imagery. Much of these cave interiors have been looted and destroyed, but a team of researchers from the University of Chicago, armed with Artec 3D scanners, is doing a remarkable job of digitally reconstructing the caves as they originally appeared.
