Digital Palace of Versailles after 100,000 Laser Scans
It is now possible to virtually visit the famous Palace of Versailles; Digital Versailles has been opened thanks to a FARO laser scanner and Google Earth. This image is part of a digitisation project that includes more than 100,000 scans, which were collected with the FARO Focus3D laser scanner.
Three months of hard work have enabled Actual Foncier Topographie (AFT), a company specialised in surveying, to scan the Palace of Versailles to create a digital platform for a 3D virtual tour of the prestigious interiors and gardens. It is now possible to take a virtual tour of the Château de Versailles via Google Earth.
AFT was commissioned by Google to scan Versailles and turn its magnificent facades and roofs, luxurious interior and its beautiful gardens and fountains into a 3D model. Virtually cross the Hall of Mirrors or walk through the beautiful gardens.
Watch here the YouTube video of the 3D virtual tour.
