Digital technologies have developed that facilitate new forms of engagement with heritage and allow local areas to showcase their history, potentially broadening interest to a wider audience, thus acting as a driver for cultural and economic resilience. The research presented in this paper explores this through interdisciplinary research utilising laser scanning and visualisation in combination with social research in Elgin. 3D data capture technologies were used to develop and test 3D data visualisations and protocols through which the urban built heritage can be digitally recorded. The main focus of this paper surrounds the application and perceptions of these technologies. Findings suggest that the primary driver for cultural heritage developments was economic (with an emphasis on tourism) but further benefits and key factors of community engagement, social learning and cultural resilience were also reported. Stakeholder engagement and partnership working, in particular, were identified as critical factors of success. The findings from the community engagement events demonstrate that laser scanning and visualisation provide a novel and engaging mechanism for co-producing heritage assets. There is a high level of public interest in such technologies and users who engaged with these models reported that they gained new perspectives (including spatial and temporal perspectives) on the built heritage of the area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551516636306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,11]],"date-time":"2016-03-11T22:09:19Z","timestamp":1457734159000},"page":"420-433","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["(Re)presenting heritage: Laser scanning and 3D visualisations for cultural resilience and community engagement"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Tait","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"iSchool, Robert Gordon University, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Laing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment, Robert Gordon University, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andy","family":"Grinnall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"iSchool, Robert Gordon University, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Burnett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"iSchool, Robert Gordon University, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Isaacs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computing and Digital Media, Robert Gordon University, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0165551516636306","unstructured":"European Commission.
