Preserving Saudi Arabia's Heritage:

FalconViz's Revolutionary Approach to Cultural Heritage Documentation

FalconViz is an asset digitization company with vast experience in BIM and 3D Modeling. BIM is a digital representation of a building or a site that includes all the information about its components and properties.
FalconViz uses BIM to create a digital twin of historical sites. This allows stakeholders to simulate different scenarios and test the impact of changes or renovations to the sites.

One of the challenges faced by FalconViz is the preservation of historical sites. These sites are often vulnerable to natural disasters, environmental factors, and human activities. FalconViz uses the data collected from drones and 3D models to monitor the sites and identify any changes or damages. This allows the relevant authorities to take corrective measures to preserve the sites.

It’s one thing though to generate BIM models, but it’s a whole other thing to visualize it in a way that benefits stakeholders. That’s why FalconViz also uses Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies to bring the historical sites to life. By using VR and AR, FalconViz can create immersive experiences that allow people to explore the sites virtually. This is especially useful for people who cannot physically visit the sites or for educational purposes.

FalconViz has also been working closely with the authorities responsible for the historical sites to ensure that the digitization and documentation process is carried out in a responsible manner. This includes obtaining the necessary permits and approvals, respecting the privacy of the residents, and preserving the cultural heritage of the sites.

The use of advanced technologies by FalconViz has been instrumental in the preservation of the ancient architecture of the Middle East. By digitizing and documenting the historical sites, FalconViz has made it possible for people to explore and appreciate these sites virtually. The use of BIM, VR, and AR technologies has also allowed FalconViz to simulate different scenarios and test the impact of changes or renovations to the sites.

In conclusion, FalconViz has been using advanced technologies to digitize and document historical sites in Saudi Arabia, such as Al Balad, Al Soudah, Al Diriyah, and Al Ula. The use of drones, photogrammetry, laser scanning, BIM, VR, and AR technologies has allowed FalconViz to create highly accurate 3D models and immersive experiences of these sites. FalconViz’s efforts have been instrumental in the preservation of the ancient architecture of the Kingdom.
