Participants visualize, analyze, and digitally preserve architectural heritage from Ybor City, Florida’s first industrial town, and one of only two National Historic Landmark Districts in Florida. The workshop lasts for two weeks. From (December 9-13, 2019) participants use state of the art FARO Focus x330 and s150 scanners to create a high resolution 3D point cloud dataset. From December 16-20, 2019, participants process geospatial data at USF’s Access 3D Lab to uncover the story of Ybor City’s history.
