Skyline
COWI is a distributor of the visualization tools from Skyline, the use of which makes it possible to take a virtual flight across Denmark.
Skyline’s 3D viewer, TerraExplorer, allows you to navigate in a 3D world. The unique thing about the software package from Skyline is that it is accessible from the Internet via streaming in real time - and without any significant decrease in performance.
Much information can be entered by use of TerraExplorer Pro such as predefined routes or texts and graphic objects to highlight certain locations or objects in the landscape.
A flight through the landscape
Digital 3D models can be run in Skyline, taking the user on a flight through the landscape. The user may be taken through beauty spots with substantial differences in height and a wide variety of cultural offers via a predefined route. During the flight, signs will inform you which cities and sights, e.g. castles and churches, are passed.
The flight can be interrupted any time and the user can navigate freely in the model. Clicking on a sign with the mouse button will show detailed information about the subject, for instance from a home page. If you point at one of the surfaces, you will be informed what the area is used for.
