Ski the Olympics Downhill Course…From you computer, of course
Spot Image released an interactive 3D image video that allows the viewer to be taken down either the men’s or women’s downhill ski run at Whistler that will be used for the 2010 Winter Olympic games near Vancouver, Canada. It’s worth seeing. According to Spot, "the 3D view was produced by draping a KOMPSAT-2 satellite image (South Korean satellite designed with support from EADS Astrium) over a grid indicating the elevations of each point. The 3D image thus obtained, at a resolution of 1 metre, is then inserted in Google Earth Enterprise where users can visualize it interactively. This technology depicts relief very accurately."
