Professor Rogers and IC Students - At the Lincoln cottage in D.C., 3-D imaging covered by the Washington PostContributed by Kimberly Anderson on 01/12/15
"The professor of physics and astronomy at Ithaca College is spending a week measuring every bit — and byte — of Lincoln’s summer cottage in Northwest Washington with a 3-D laser scanner. When he and his team of two undergraduates are done, the place where Lincoln sweated out three D.C. summers and signed the Emancipation Proclamation will take on a virtual new life. Preservationists and researchers will be able explore an ultra-high-resolution image of the structure — floor to ceiling, inside and out — exact to two-tenths of an inch. Students a world away soon may be able to “fly” through the room where Lincoln freed the slaves. If they wanted to, they could turn the house upside down and make it spin in space with the click of a mouse." For more information take a look at the article on the Washington Post
