Harris Corporation is offering web-based 3-D virtual flyovers of Washington DC and the Inaugural Parade Route. You can access them here.
Harris 3-D visualization technology also will provide broadcast and Internet viewers with a unique 3-D view of the parade route and the downtown Washington D.C. area. The 3-D model movie depicts the city’s major monuments and government buildings with an accurate, photo-realistic 3-D visualization technology that is part of the Harris RealSite(r) product family. The 3-D model movie is available to the public for viewing at the National Press Club and Harris websites.
3-D urban models are built from ground, aerial and satellite imagery using technology developed for government customers and are geospatially accurate to within meters. Harris has developed nearly 500 global 3-D models during the past five years as a prime contractor for the U.S. government. Applications range from operations management and navigation safety to security planning, threat detection, disaster response and environmental planning.
Harris is also providing a live video feed of the parade route from a webcam atop the J.W. Marriott Hotel. The feed is live as of Friday.
