Abstract

This article explains the working methodology followed to carry out a project in which the 3D laser scanner survey of San Martin’s Church (placed in Plaza Juan Bravo, in the historic city centre of Segovia Spain), has been undertaken. There is also a virtual tour through the nearby streets, which lead us to the Jewry Museum, going through the Paseo del Salón. The final aim is to obtain derivative CAD products such as technical plans, solid models and different videos, as well as a simplified 3D model. This project has been funded by the MICINN (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación [Department of Science and Innovation]), within the project ADISPA, BIA2009-14254-C02-01, and will constitute a mathematical base of a scenario of augmented reality which will make accessibility for disabled people possible. This will be framed within the “PATRAC” project (PATRIMONIO ACCESIBLE: I+D+I para una cultura sin barreras [ACCESSIBLE HERITAGE: R+D+I for a culture without barriers]).
