Why is it important?
The results were pretty amazing. Not only did smartphones do the job, but they also showed a lot of potential in areas such as infrared and laser-based sensing – technologies that have usually been used by specialists.
Perspectives
The use of smartphones could be a game changer for heritage conservation. By making these advanced tools more accessible, we can help conservators around the world protect our shared history.
