3D cameras ?to save? IS-threat artefacts
http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBmbESg.img?h=100&w=100&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=fThousands of 3D cameras will be given out across the Middle East in an attempt to preserve ancient sites from destruction by the Islamic State group.Residents will be asked to capture images as part of a project by Oxford and Harvard archaeologists.The photos should allow academics to use a 3D printer to build replicas of damaged buildings and artefacts.There is said to be a renewed urgency after the city of Palmyra in Syria was destroyed by IS militants this month.
