Description
This service-learning activity is a continuation of the work initiated in January 2018 by other students. It consists in generating a virtual, 3D model of Georgia Southern’s football stadium. This time, the model includes the stadium itself plus all its surrounding areas. The current work is being completed by two groups of students. One in Civil Engineering and other in the Construction Management program. The model is produced via a state-of-the-art, LiDAR instrument. It accurately captures existing conditions into a large cloud of points. Currently, 150 laser scans have been completed. The final model will be donated to the Georgia Southern Athletic Department. It can be employed to obtain accurate virtual distance measurements throughout the stadium for remodeling or expansion purposes. Additionally, fly-through video clips could potentially be used for advertisement or public entertainment. Authors’ learning and motivation was catalyzed by the fact this work represents service to their university.
