moreWhile heritage monuments are all 3D objects within the landscape the potential for recording and analysis of such objects in 3D environments has only recently been realised. This presents the opportunity not only for point-in-time, millimetrically-accurate digital records but has implications for the display of heritage both in museums, across the web and for the placing of objects within their historical context. The Fort at Al Zubarah and the petroglyphs at Jebel Jassasiya are two of the most important yet antithetical heritage sites in Qatar, each of which was laser scanned as part of an investigation into the potential for 3D datasets to advance research, analysis and conservation on two diverse sites.
