Date Time Launceston replicated in Minecraft map Launceston landmarks like Kings Bridge, UTAS Stadium and the Town Clock have been recreated in popular video game Minecraft using 3D LiDAR scans from the City of Launceston’s digital data assets. The Council has used LiDAR – which stands for Light Detection and Ranging – to undertake scans of the city for several years. The scans are used by the Council to create 3D computer models of city projects and new development proposals. Thanks to technology advancements, it’s become a simple process to convert these LiDAR scans into a basic Minecraft map that can be uploaded to the ‘Minecraft: Java Edition’ version of the game.
