New technology could bring greater transparency to Broadway seating
Mark Hirschberg | Forbes
Science, specifically the technology used by surveyors and AEC professionals, isn't something that immediately comes to mind when thinking about Broadway, or the arts in general. But in this article, we'll show how the two intertwine. In this article, Hirschberg looks at London-based Preevue, whose laser scanning technology is used in theaters. The precise data from these laser scanners allows theater-goers to know exactly what the view will look like from the particular seat they're considering purchasing.

One of the most common themes in these articles is how laser scanning can be used in historical research, especially in cultural preservation projects around the world. In this article, we go back a little further in time than we usually do and talk about archaeologists studying Neolithic farmers from 6,000 years ago. This article focuses on a stone chamber in southern Spain that dates back 6,000 years ago. Based on the researchers' findings, with the help of data collected by laser scanning, they can learn more about the construction process of this type of structure at that time, showing that these people possessed previously unknown know-how in engineering and technology.

Siemens digital twin technology supports America's Cup racing teams
Digital Engineering
The America's Cup is one of the most prestigious competitions in the world, testing a variety of capabilities, including not only sailing technology but also boat design and engineering. The 37th sailing competition kicked off last week. In this article, we will introduce how digital twins are being used to support the competitors in the race. Specifically, they are using technologies from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, which allow them to test their designs and engineering with simulation and virtual testing.
