Vatican and Microsoft Launch AI-Generated St. Peter’s Basilica for Virtual Tours and Damage Tracking
Microsoft and the Vatican have created a digital version of St. Peter's Basilica using artificial intelligence. This allows people to explore one of the world's most famous landmarks virtually. The project used 400,000 high-resolution photos taken with drones, cameras, and lasers over four weeks when the basilica was empty. The digital model is being launched online alongside two new exhibits to offer both real and virtual visitors an interactive experience. Brad Smith, Microsoft's president, described it as one of the most sophisticated projects of its kind.
