Digitizing the entire architecture of My Son relic temple towers

(CLO) The entire temple and tower complex and some typical artifacts at the My Son relic site will be digitized to serve the management and promotion of heritage values.

The My Son World Cultural Heritage Management Board said that the unit is conducting 3D digital scanning of the entire temple and tower complex and some typical artifacts at the relic site to serve the management and promotion of heritage values, combined with promoting the My Son cultural heritage (Thu Bon commune, Da Nang city).

My Son currently has 60 architectural ruins and 3 architectural traces along with 2,278 artifacts. According to the plan from now until the end of 2025, the Management Board will digitize all relics and architectural ruins; at the same time, select 200 typical artifacts for digitization.

Since 2006, the My Son World Heritage Management Board has conducted an inventory, description, photocopies, and 3D scans of all artifacts at the site. Some temple architecture has also been digitized through sponsored projects.

However, due to the long time, some software is old, so it is necessary to digitize and update with a new, better, specialized technology system, especially with some typical artifacts to promote the value of artifacts and relics to tourists conveniently and effectively.

The implementation of 3D digital scanning of the entire current state of My Son Sanctuary, including temples, towers, antiquities, and national treasures, to serve the work of data storage, promotion, and restoration has been seriously affected over the years.

Accordingly, the towers as well as the antiquities and treasures of My Son will be scanned using 3D laser scanning technology, providing the most accurate information, from the structure, architecture, materials, and actual size of the tower. After scanning, the actual scan file will be used to create a basic model file. After the processing stage, a complete 3D model will be obtained.

All 3D files will be stored on a separate system. This will be the data to rebuild and restore buildings, antiques and treasures if an incident occurs without needing old documents.

In addition, the promotional solution through a website integrating 3D models will help visitors increase their experience, create diversity in use, and help attract more user interest.
