Reality Capture for Architecture is ideally suited for any students interested in tying together 3D scanning techniques with virtual models. The course begins with 3D scanning methods, small to large scale, for site capture and concludes with individual virtual immersion models. The class will compare, and contrast capture technologies appropriate for a variety of site and environmental conditions. An overview of workflows for integrating site capture data with information and representation models with foreground techniques applicable to any discipline. The course will meet learning objectives through lectures, demonstrations, and field work. A semester long project, broken up into discreet exercises, is tied to specific learning objectives ranging from spatial experience to analysis and qualitative evaluation. The course will emphasize techniques, versatility, and method.
