Drivers entering I-10 East at Studemont this morning might’ve noticed something weird as they hurtled into traffic. Parked on the shoulder was a big van with a flashing light and a logo that read “Digital Reality Capture.” Near the van were a couple of things that looked like cameras, although we assume the preferred term is “digital reality capturers.”

Well, dang, we were kind of hoping it was something more sinister. — Keith Plocek
