The Minister for Sport, Tourism & Heritage Minister, David Evennett MP, met with Neil Spiller and Simon Withers to find out about the 3D project in the historic Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College.

Simon has carried out 3D modelling of the building with a Faro 3D laser scanner.  He told the Minister how he has captured the building’s exact size, shape and features so that it can be viewed digitally on phones, tablets and computers, in order to attract more visitors.

Simon’s work ties in with the Painted Hall Conservation Project, a £7 million scheme which aims not only to restore its famous artworks, but also to bring the history of the place to life in creative ways, and to involve a new generation in the process of conservation.
