This project has gone a considerable way towards demonstrating the potential of Information Technology and GIS tools in the study of architectural and urban elements of the historical and the present environment. They could equally well be used to make visual projections of the results of active and intrusive conservation and restoration programs. There are, perhaps, three largely separate but overlapping areas in which these techniques can be used and developed:

1. Rapid, efficient, accurate and detailed recording, or documentation, of archaeological and architectural features. Applications include the recording of standing structures, such as built defences, and of excavated remains. The stage has already been reached whereby it is possible, and indeed desirable, to use these techniques in emergency situations as well as in routine, day-to-day, recording.

2. The 3D models permit realistic rendering and multi-perspective views of monuments in their present condition and situation. Modeling will also allow projection of the effects of active restoration and conservation schemes.

3. The graphic displays of heritage sites and monuments, as they are at the moment and as they may once have been, permits world-wide dissemination to a variety of audiences. This can be achieved by means of the World Wide Web, publication on CD-Rom or DVD, or in printed form. There is great potential for virtual reality displays in a great range of situations: schools, museums, board rooms and public broadcasting.
