Purpose
CyArk is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the digital preservation of cultural heritage sites worldwide. CyArk utilizes advanced 3D recording technologies to create accurate and photorealistic digital replicas of significant historical locations. CyArk's field teams use state-of-the-art documentation technologies to meticulously capture detailed geometry and texture data needed to construct a photorealistic 3D model of the site. Interviews with community members, academics, and site stewards also take place during this time and become the voices of the experience.
Where We See Impact
the organization has created a lasting archive that aids in site management, supports restoration efforts, and makes cultural heritage accessible to those who may not have the opportunity to visit these locations in person
