This paper summarises the results achieved from a number of laser scanning experiments performed in our laboratories and on remote sites. The potential of this technology for imaging applications and as an input to virtualised reality environments is discussed. Parameters to be considered for this type of activity are related to the design of laser scanners with adequate depth of field, image resolution, shape reproduction fidelity, registered colour information, robustness to ambient light interference and scanning strategies. The first case reviewed is an application geared towards improving access to art collections belonging to museums. A number of digital 3D models acquired in Italy in 1997–1998 are presented, e.g. marble statue from G. Pisano (circa 1305). The second case aims at digitising large structures. Examples of a large sculpture located outside of the Canadian Museum of Civilisation in Hull, Canada …
