Google Earth's Ancient Rome 3D

Ancient Rome 3D is a digital elaboration of some 7,000 buildings recreating Rome circa A.D. 320, at the height of Constantine’s empire, when more than a million inhabitants lived within the city’s Aurelian walls.

CAVEman
4-D Human Atlas

Lead by Christoph Sensen, Director of the University of Calgary’s Sun Center for Human Excellence for Visual Genomics, a team of computer scientists, biologists, mathematicians, and artists toiled for nearly 6 years to create the first complete 4D human atlas, simply called CAVEman.  Their manual—basic anatomy textbooks.

Sensen says that “our goal was to build a model of a complete human, at 10 times the resolution of anything else on the market.  I am proud to say today, we have reached that goal.”  By using 3D glasses and a controller to focus on a particular body part, the viewer can size CAVEman to any scale.  MRIs, CAT scans, and x-rays can be superimposed over the model to allow physicians and patients to visualize a specific problem.  Time-lapse (the 4th dimension) allows the viewer to see bodily functions or diseases progress over time. This is all accomplished through projection into an empty room from 3 walls and the floor.

"The Digital Learning Foundation inspires and motivates young people and educators through the use of digital tools, innovative technologies and encouraging their use in everyday teaching and learning.

Already, more than 14,000 young people have experienced one of our 3D shows or activities, and with current bookings, this will soon rise to 23,000. Our target is to reach 30,000 by Summer 08.

Our projects also aim to promote the public understanding of science or the arts and encourage students to consider these areas as potential careers.

We are researching, developing and evaluating the use of new tools and the results will be made available on this site.

All of our shows are designed to support the curriculum.

On this site you can find out about our shows, workshops, challenges and other activities, as well as resources and free applications.

Contact us
If you or your school would like more information or to book one of our activities, our contact information is here. We will then contact you to discuss your requirements in more detail."

 

Geowall Consortium visualizations, datasets and cirriculum:

Joy of Wall

The Joy of Wall webpage showcases a number of the practical applications and current uses of the geowall.

The AstroWall Software

This page displays a number of applications of the geowall in astronomy.

University of Minnesota Intro Class Visualizations

University of Minnesota visualizations used in their intro classes.

The following links provide access to data directories, stereo images and other GeoWall applications. They are divided by operating system into three catergories listed below. The list below is a sampling rather than an exhaustive list; many more visualizations exist for use on the geowall and these can easily be found using any of the internet search engines.

Stereo Pairs
