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.
So, he's going to scan the Great Barrier Reef and Kakadu National Park? Sounds ambitious. Particularly the "rebuilding" part.
