Unveiling the Enigma Below: 3D Scanner Illuminates the Hidden, Subterranean World
Everyone's been wondering about those ancient subterranean tunnels, and now, a team from the University of Applied Sciences in Upper Austria is on a mission to crack the mystery. Rumors of a massive earth tunnel in Unterstetten, a district of Grieskirchen, have been swirling, and this dynamic crew is using modern technology to put an end to the speculation.
They're deploying a cutting-edge 3D scanner called "MobES," developed right here at the UAS Upper Austria. This remarkable piece of tech utilizes a regular old smartphone equipped with a laser scanner, camera, and sensors to meticulously map the underground tunnel network with a precision of mere centimeters. The tunnel system under investigation spans across seven rooms, each exhibiting the classic constrictions, suggesting potential use as a safe haven in the past. Preliminary findings such as lamp niches and defensive installations add credence to this hypothesis.
As the team fine-tunes the 3D model, it'll soon be ready for public viewing, promising an intriguing journey through history. Stay tuned for more fascinating insights from this groundbreaking project!
