She studied history to satiate her thirst for knowledge about the 1950\u2019s and 1960\u2019s, especially the technological advances that occurred during that time.<\/p>\n<p>Her work took a technological leap of its own when she affiliated with IST to reconstruct historical sites such as the launch pads of Cape Canaveral and the World\u2019s Fair in an online format, making them accessible to the world.<\/p>\n<p>For this latest project Walters will bring her FARO Focus 3D laser scanner to New York, which is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Fair this summer, and teach the middle school students from neighboring Nassau County how to accurately capture the entire Tent of Tomorrow area of the New York State Pavilion. FARO is also providing the team use of one of their new Focus X 330 scanners that has the capability of capturing data as far as 330 meters. A representative from CyArk will assist in scanning and the piecing together or \u201cstitching\u201d of the scans to complete a digital model.<\/p>\n<p>Her unique work has attracted the attention of media focused on the Fair\u2019s anniversary, most recently in the May 27 <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/articles\/scanning-a-slice-of-queens-1401240576\">Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Walters plans to give the data to the New York Parks Department to help preserve the authenticity of the structure should the city decide to either renovate it and to serve as a historical representation if it is ultimately torn down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever happens to these historical structures future generations will always have access to them in the form of these scans,\u201d Walters said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A researcher at the 海角直播\u2019s Institute for Simulation &amp; Training (IST) will help sear the magic of the 1964\/65 New York World\u2019s Fair in the minds of a group of middle school students the first week of June as she leads a research project focused on laser scanning one of the remaining structures on the site.
