    Dr. Gary Thompson says in the case of CNA, they want to help businesses improve their digital maturity.

    College of the North Atlantic (CNA) in Stephenville is one of 16 Technology Access Centres in the country to share 18 million dollars in funding over the next five years.  $1.75 million will be used to establish a Reality Capture and Digitization TAC at the Bay St. George campus,  one of four new centres in Canada. Dr. Gary Thompson says in the case of CNA, they want to help businesses improve their digital maturity. He says this recognition means a lot to the college. CNA’s  Office of Applied Research and Innovation (OARI) has actively engaged its world-class terrestrial and airborne LiDAR (Laser Imaging Detection And Ranging), 3D mapping, and hyperspectral assets and teams to advance a specialization in reality capture and digitization.
