The Challenge

What the Industry Struggles With

Flat plans and static photos cannot convey the reality of three-dimensional spaces.

2D Plans Don't Capture Space

Flat drawings and photographs fail to communicate the spatial reality of heritage sites and urban environments, making planning decisions harder for all stakeholders.

Heritage at Risk

Ageing structures, natural disasters, and urban development threaten irreplaceable cultural and architectural heritage. Once lost, it cannot be recreated from photographs alone.

Stakeholder Communication

Planners, councils, and communities struggle to visualise proposed changes from 2D submissions. This leads to objections, delays, and costly redesigns.

AECT Solution

How AECT Addresses It

Immersive 3D capture that gives stakeholders a window into spaces they cannot physically visit.

3DGS Immersive Models

Create photorealistic, navigable 3D Gaussian Splat models of heritage sites and urban spaces that stakeholders can explore from any device, no VR headset required.

Heritage Digital Preservation

Capture millimetre-accurate digital records of heritage structures as a permanent archive. If the physical asset degrades, the digital twin preserves every detail.

Planning Submission Models

Deliver 3D site context models that embed proposed designs into real-world scans. Help councils and communities understand spatial impact before approvals.

Change Detection Over Time

Establish scan baselines and compare over months or years. Detect structural movement, weathering, or unauthorised alterations with measurable precision.
