The Kosciuszko Huts Association is contributing to a project managed by the Australian Alps National Parks Co-Operative Management Program to digitally capture and produce 3D digital twin models of over 100 heritage huts across the Australian Alps National Parks and Reserves of the ACT, NSW and Victoria.
The highly accurate digital twin models will be an important record of these sites that assist park staff and volunteers in maintenance and restoration work for these important historic heritage sites. The high-definition 3D digital models are available online at www.highcountryhuts.org.au.
The project provides a unique visitor and interpretive experience for members of the public and community who may not be able to visit these locations due to access difficulties or the remote nature of many of these historic hut sites. Providing access to anyone through 3D virtual tours and walk-throughs incorporating interpretive material such as drone footage, videos and historic information about each hut.
