Notice Information

Notice Title

Deep Digital Cornwall - Visualisation Suite

Notice Description

One of the key components of the Deep Digital Cornwall project will be a visualisation suite which will enable researchers and businesses to dynamically explore the geographic and geologic structure of Cornwall both above and below surface. The system must be able to display three dimensional rendered scenes to multiple participants (small groups of individuals) and enable them to all view and interact with the data displayed. For example, a standard use case of the system would be the ability to display the topographic aerial view of Cornwall and then focus on an area of potential interest.
