Virtualizing the Glen Canyon Dam
“This is the coolest reality capture data set I’ve ever seen.” — Pete Kelsey
If you were at AU Las Vegas in 2014, you likely remember Pete Kelsey, part of the Autodesk Strategic Projects team. He spoke during an Innovation Forum about creating a 3D model of the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. Combining photogrammetry, LIDAR scanning, and SONAR for the first time, he and his team mapped both the sunken battleship and the memorial building above water to establish a baseline for monitoring the condition of the site and the estimated 500,000 gallons of fuel still inside the ship.

Kelsey will be back at AU Las Vegas in November 2017, this time to talk about his latest reality capture project, the Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona. We sat down with him to discuss the project.
