SVS Animation 3400 - Dynamic Earth Dome Protoype: Fly Around

Dynamic Earth Dome Protoype: Fly Around

This visualization was a prototype affiliated with 'Dynamic Earth', a proposed Earth science planetarium show. The visualization shows a flyover of North America towards Greenland. MODIS Blue Marble data is initially used, then fading to SeaWiFS based biosphere data. MODIS based snow and ice are overlayed on the biosphere data.\n\nThe images were rendered using a fish eye technique so that they would project properly onto a planetarium dome. The horizon was kept at approximately the 'sweet spot' based on typical viewer locations in a planetarium.
