Hue uses 3D tech to conserve its relics

The project aims to raise awareness on the values of world cultural heritage as well as conservation work.

The former imperial city of Hue, in Vietnam, is applying 3D technology in conservation in an attempt to more accurately restore the structures built by the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945).

According to the Hu? Monuments Conservation Centre, a local government body that manages all relics related to the dynasty, the pilot project will be used for two relic sites – the An Dinh Palace and the mausoleum designated for the dynasty's fourth king Tu Duc.
