3D visualisation of new habitat map

Cutting edge space technology is being used to bring maps of all of Wales' wildlife habitats right up to date. Once completed, by the end of March 2012, Wales will be the first country in Europe to have produced a national map of habitats using satellite technology. This movie is a 3D fly through to illustrate the map in the context of the satellite and aerial imagery that has been automatically analysed to produce the map, combined with a digital terain model to create the landscape for the movie.

Environment Systems are the service provider leading the roll out of this national habitat map.
