Another instance of virtual reconstruction

Mirwais Adeel, writing for Khaama Press/Afghan News Agency, reported on June 6, 2015 that using a very expensive projector and 3D image display, the Bamyan Buddhas destroyed by Taliban militants in 2001 were “returned” to the empty niches which had held them (“Return of Bamyan Buddhas with help of 3D image display”). If a one hundred and eighty foot tall sculpture can be successfully recreated, imagine all of the smaller damaged or destroyed works of art that could be virtually restored.
