Led by University of Central Florida history professor Dr. Lori C. Walters, ChronoPoints is a digital initiative at UCF’s Institute for Stimulation and Training. The project utilizes laser scanners to digitally map historically significant mid-twentieth century structures.
Before its demolition in 2015, ChronoPoints digitally mapped the historic Cocoa Beach Glass Bank and rendered the information in a virtual reality game engine. The project also used the information to create a 3D-printed model of the Glass Bank.
