The delivered representation of the monument is the result of my collaboration with the
architect and historical researcher Giorgis Koliopoulos which he provided me guidance and all the necessary information based on his research, testimonials and photographic material that he collected over the last three decades.
For the implementation and accuracy of the project new technologies has been applied such as 3D scanning with highly accurate equipment FARO 3D scanner for the interior of the cave and use of photogrammetry technique for the exterior with the use of drone. Moreover, based a geometrical 3D reference that has been generated of the monument, a new model as designed from scratch in order to meet the polygon budget, the necessary geometry topology to achieve compatibility and realtime performance of the Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality applications.
