It's incredible how technology helps preserve our history! 🏛️ I saw their work on the restoration of Notre Dame Cathedral, it’s just fantastic. Millimeter-level detail.
Sofia
Did you know that they use drones with special cameras? My friend is working on a similar project. He says one drone can take thousands of pictures in an hour, and Azure processes them into a 3D model. Amazing! ✨
Heinrich
Previously, such work required years and a lot of specialists with theodolites. And now a couple of drones and cloud computing. Technology is power! 🚀
Viktor
Ugh, they've created a digital gimmick here. In my time, monuments were measured by hand, and nothing - they still stand. And now they’ve come up with these smartphone drones of yours... They just transfer money. 😤
Isabella
Viktor, but this helps preserve monuments for future generations! Imagine if we had such models of the lost wonders of the world 🗿
Etienne
Exactly! Isabella is right. These models help not only preserve, but also restore objects destroyed by time or war. Look at the restoration of Palmyra! 🏺
Sofia
And these 3D models also make history more accessible. Now schoolchildren can virtually walk through ancient temples! 📱 Isn't this cool?
Heinrich
Etienne, about Palmyra - to the point! Imagine how this will help during the restoration of Notre Dame. Every stone, every stained glass window - everything is documented down to the millimeter! 🎯
