Notable Gaussian Splatting 3D Scanning Applications in Richmond

Virginia State Capitol — Designed by Thomas Jefferson in 1788, this neoclassical masterpiece with its iconic Rotunda is ideally suited for high-precision 3D laser scanning to document ornate interior details and structural geometry.
Old City Hall — This ornate 1886 Gothic Revival building designed by Elijah E. Myers features intricate stonework and decorative elements that benefit from detailed point cloud capture for ongoing preservation.
Monument Avenue Historic District — A tree-lined boulevard of historic homes and statues where 3D scanning supports facade documentation, streetscape modeling, and renovation planning.
St. John's Church — This colonial-era church, site of Patrick Henry's famous 1775 speech, is a prime candidate for heritage documentation using laser scanning and photogrammetry.
The Diamond District (Scott's Addition) — A major mixed-use redevelopment area holding 25.6% of units under construction, where scan-to-BIM services support new construction coordination and adaptive reuse projects.
