Description:
Orinda retiree Ben Kacyra has made the biggest contribution to archeological research since Indiana Jones added the bullwhip to his field kit. Kacyra, who made his fortune as an inventor and civil engineer, has created a foundation to explore the research of a cameralike device that uses lasers to scan three dimensional objects. Such as archaeological ruins to create digital blueprints accurate to within a few millimeters. Born in northern Iraq in 1940, Kacyra developed this laser-mapping tool several years ago to solve a problem in construction keeping accurate records of the real dimensions of factories and power plants when they deviate from the architect's plans.
