1907 CE - 1965 CE, Japan's turning point in technological development
1967 CE - Present, The Soyuz 7K-OK model capsules were designed to ferry cosmonauts to and from the Salyut 1 Soviet space station. In order to prevent foreign acquisition of Soviet technology, retired Soyuz capsules were typically destroyed. As such, few intact Soyuz capsules exist today. This specific capsule is on exhibit in the Chabot Space Center in Oakland, California. CyArk received the laser scans in 2004 from the Space Center to provide a digital record of this important part of astronautical history.

100 BCE - 750 CE, Ancient Metropolis in the Valley of Mexico - Located 32 kilometers (20 miles) northeast of Mexico City, Teotihuacán is one of the largest and most impressive Mesoamerican sites; its expansive urban causeways and massive pyramids rise from the Basin of Mexico as a monument to its lasting influence and grandeur. The name Teotihuacán translates to ‘The City of the Gods' in the Nahuatl language of the Aztec people, who conquered the area over 700 years after Teotihuacán fell. Teotihuacán was laid out on a grid and functioned as a city with a densely-populated and fully-urbanized central zone that was carefully planned by its founders. The Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl (which translates as ‘Feathered Serpent') and the buildings of its surrounding plaza contain the greatest concentration of the city's painted and sculptural iconography.

1942 CE - 1945 CE, In 2011, CyArk was awarded a grant by the National Park Service's Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program to create 3D digital recreations of some of the sites associated with the confinement and incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. Today, few buildings remain at the former War Relocation Authority (WRA) centers, making it difficult for visitors to imagine, and all too easy to forget, this important and tragic chapter in United States history.

1838 CE - 1843 CE, Pietermaritzburg is the second largest city and capital of the KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa. Known for its beautiful examples of Victorian and Edwardian architecture, one may be fooled into thinking that Pietermaritzburg was founded by the British. In fact, the city was founded in 1838 by Dutch-speaking Voortrekkers (early Dutch settlers) who moved away from the British authorities in the Cape and headed north into Natal. The town was laid out according to the traditional Voortrekker grid pattern and from 1840 people quarried shale and manufactured bricks to construct the thatched Voortrekker cottages.
