Metrology News featured VAR Lab’s Liberty Bell digital twin project in a detailed article focused on the precision metrology behind the capture. The story highlights how VAR Lab: The Emerging Technologies Hub at Penn State used high-precision laser scanning, structured-light scanning, LiDAR, photogrammetry, and immersive imaging to create what is expected to become the first freely accessible, high-resolution digital twin of the Liberty Bell.

The article also notes the project’s challenging field conditions inside the active Liberty Bell Center, where the team completed non-contact data capture within limited access windows while preserving strict conservation standards. It names Dr. Christopher R. Shelton as project lead, Remington M. Orange as technical lead, and Alexander C. Fisher as creative lead and project manager.
