3D Heritage Documentation

The Zamani Project, document cultural heritage sites in 3D to create a record for future generations.[5][6][7][8] The documentation is based on terrestrial laser-scanning.[9][10] The 3D documentation of Medirigiriya Watadageya was carried out in 2019.[11] 3D models, a Panorama tour, plans and images can be view here.
