    $1.75 million will be used to establish a Reality Capture and Digitization TAC at the Bay St. George campus,  one of four new centres in Canada.

    College of the North Atlantic (CNA) in Stephenville is one of 16 Technology Access Centres in the country to share 18 million dollars in funding over the next five years.  $1.75 million will be used to establish a Reality Capture and Digitization TAC at the Bay St. George campus,  one of four new centres in Canada. In the case of CNA, its Office of Applied Research and Innovation (OARI) has actively engaged its world-class terrestrial and airborne LiDAR (Laser Imaging Detection And Ranging), 3D mapping, and hyperspectral assets and teams to advance a specialization in reality capture and digitization. Dr. Mike Long, CNA’s Dean of Applied Research & Innovation, says the TAC will allow the college to enhance successful strategic partnerships with the mining sector and expand reality capture and digitization applications to other sectors, particularly health care, forestry, utilities, construction, tourism, energy and environmental monitoring.
