Virtual Aerial Tours Series
The Ultimate in Video Guides Hiking Trails to River Rafting and More
The PERFECT exploration and planning Tool!
Getting over your favorite Recreation Areas is the best method to see everything from
above. Using GIS imagery techniques, video covering the landscape of interest is now in HD. By
combining photos, text and other annotations, informative tours have been created. From a
useful and interesting viewpoint, see everything around the trail or river. A true Bird’s Eye View!
A serious and realistic tour of the entire route. Appreciate the landscape from a unique
perspective that cannot be seen from the ground. This visualization presentation can fill the
realism gap that occurs when using paper maps and guidebooks.
These productions are a great library addition to your photos, maps and guidebooks. Get a real
good feel of what it would be like to actually be there.
Although highly Interactive, Navigation is simple and intuitive.
Even anaglyph 3D VIDEO is included.
