Notes

Iowa City Beer Caves LiDAR Scanning Project

Was a success. There are plans to perform more scans during a future visit.

There are plans for a speaking series where not only the current project be explained, but also the history of the caves, history of beer making at the time of the caves, etc.

Adam is interested in creating a Virtual Reality component as well.
