Recording wartime scenes in 3D is not just about preserving Ukraine. It is being done with future exhibitions or films in mind
Dominican Church in Lviv’s historical centre, Yuriy Prepodobnyi carefully positions a laser scanner on a tripod, lining up its sightlines with the external walls. Some 1,000 kilometres east, in the centre of Kharkiv, Serhii Prokopenko painstakingly photographs the half-concealed monument of Taras Shevchenko, a Ukrainian poet . He inches around the sandbags that protect it in order to capture every angle.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine almost four months ago, more than 450 cultural sites have been damaged or destroyed, according to a monitoring body associated with the Smithsonian and the Virginia Museum of Natural History . The areas around Kharkiv and Mariupol have been most afflicted. In response, photogrammetry and 3-scanning professionals such as Messrs Prepodobnyi and Prokopenko have turned their tools towards the war effort.
Similarly, last year, when Pixelated Realities created a prototype reconstruction of the nearby city of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, home to one of the largest fortresses in eastern Europe, Ms Boitsova had to use maps of the area held in the Russian State Library. The local museum only had a small photocopy. Early scans of these sites have proved fortuitous: parts of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi and the Vorontsov Palace have been damaged by Russian attacks.
