Beneath the streets of London , an hole-and-corner rail mesh once existed to shuttle post around the metropolis . decommission in 2003 , this 3-D laser scan serves to deliver its existence for posterity .
The internet was used for 76 years and was in fact home to the world ’s first driverless , electrified railway system . But the site — beneath one of the metropolis ’s mail screen facilities — is countersink to become a museum dedicated to the subject of the postal past times . These tunnel will become routes for a train that visitant to ride — so the UK - basedScanLAB Projectwas called in to maintain them in their current body politic using 3D optical maser scans . Capturing the scene at millimeter resolution , the result shows the space as it was will , with tool , office detritus and even dartboards littering the depths . [ ScanLAB ProjectviaNew Scientist ]
