I Got Myxomatosis
Twenty years ago
, on this day,
Nelson Mandela
, walked out of prison. While Mandela would go on to end Aparthied and
revolutionize South African fashion
, the
island
where he spent eighteen of his twenty-seven years in prison would go on to become a
UNESCO World Heritage Site
. The lack of regular habitation, however, has brought a new problem to island,
a plague of rabbits
.

World Heritage Digitzation projects
Ben Kacyras is the inventor of the portable
Cyrax 3D scanning camera
traditionally used by surveyors for quickly creating "surgical exact" 3D models of large structures. Ben has
set a goal to scan
every
World Heritage Site
on Earth and make it available online so that if anything were to happen to a site, an exact replica could be re-built. Example
Cyrax pictures
. More
3D Camera links
and
other
World
Heritage Digitization
efforts.
