"ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – The Spanish Constitution Monument is getting a dose of 21st century technology on March 31, 2012, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Plaza de la Constitución located in downtown St. Augustine. On Saturday morning the historic icon will be laser scanned with the help of Activision Publishing, a premier developer and publisher of software in the video game industry.
Chris Ellis, a 3D scan technician at Activision in Los Angeles, is travelling to St. Augustine to scan the monument. Activision is providing the scan at no cost to the City of St. Augustine.
