3D Scanning of objects and landscape

My interests and practice lie in the new digital world of 3D and Visual Effects and its application in a fine art practice.

We can now, using our digital devices to scan and recreate, replicate areas of landscape and or objects to view at our leisure or turn into game environments and now we can even print out these objects to have as tangible solid objects to hold and display.

My question and research is how we might use this new technology to be creative and how we relate to these new digital versions of landscape and process.
