A technology usually used to capture images on board oil platforms and crime scenes has been put to use to help north-east Scotland charity Clan Cancer Support.
Aberdeen-based SeaEnergy provided its R2S visual asset management system to photographically capture Clan House into its software to provide the charity with the ability to visually demonstrate the facilities at its Aberdeen headquarters.
Clan chief executive Dr Colette Backwell, said: “Clan and our clients will benefit greatly from the virtual tour. It will allow people with cancer, their families and carers to see what we have to offer and perhaps help them to make that first visit to access our wide range of well being services and emotional support.
“The virtual tour also has an important role to play in allowing a number of people affected by cancer from across north-east Scotland, Orkney and Shetland to gain an insight into our facilities before making the journey to Aberdeen for treatment.
“We place a great emphasis on the comfort of our clients and anything that can make their time away from home that little easier is always greatly welcomed.”
SeaEnergy’s Claire Fleming, said: “Clan is very local to our Rosemount offices where our R2S photographers are based. Like many others in the city, I was aware of the work Clan did but regularly drove past Clan House without a real understanding of what went on inside.
“All of us involved with the project have taken away a lot more than a greater understanding of Clan as a charity; it has been a real privilege to be involved.”
