Rockhampton-based CQUniversity student Lydia Georgeson has transformed an old map of the Capricorn Caves into a 3D version.
Ms Georgeson, who was studying a Bachelor of Science (Applied Biology), collaborated with her supervisors, faculty from the School of Engineering and IT and her employer Capricorn Caves, to update the old cave map.
She undertook this project as part of one of her university units.
“The original map for the caves was used for tours from the late 1940s and has never been updated,” she said.
The 23 year old said she used LiDAR scanner technology to develop the new 3D maps.
