STIRLING is preparing to welcome world-leading industry experts for DigiDoc, a two-day tech conference.
Held as part of Historic Environment Scotland’s digital heritage festival DigiFest, DigiDoc will showcase ground-breaking tech designed to preserve the built environment.
The event, from October 11-12 at the Engine Shed, will feature talks from academics and industry experts from organisations such as Google and the Smithsonian Institution. Presentations will focus on advancements in the digitisation of heritage sites, such as a case study on a 3D model of the Four Well at Edinburgh Castle.
Dorothy Hoskins, Engine Shed technical outreach and education manager, said: “While advances in technology are allowing us to conserve, monitor and care for our historic sites and buildings with ever-increasing efficiency and effectiveness, these same innovations are also making Scotland’s heritage more accessible than ever.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
