PROJECTS
The proposal for digital twinning of five ASI precincts in Bishnupur
using LIDAR and VR is unique in integrating high-precision 3D scanning
with immersive visualization. It documents intricate architectural
details and creates a digital/ virtual replica for public engagement
as well as scholarly research. This initiative contributes to the ASI
National Repository by offering a scalable model for heritage
preservation. In the event of future damage due to natural or
human-induced causes, these digital models will serve as accurate
references for restoration. The project ensures long-term digital
conservation, enabling heritage continuity and access beyond physical
and geographical limitations.
