DigitalGlobe And AEgis Provide The Thrill Of Victory In 3D


Not everyone can be at the 2010 Olympics in Canada, but DigitalGlobe and AEgis give viewers the interactive feeling of being there with NBC's Olympic Coverage that features fly-through simulations. With the combination of state-of-the-art models and services from AEgis and high-resolution imagery from DigitalGlobe, viewers are experiencing the highest-fidelity 3D virtualizations of Vancouver and the Olympic Venues that have ever been created. You can see:
  • 3D flyovers of the Olympic venues on YouTube
  • 2D and 3D imagery of the venues on Flickr
  • 3D interactive maps at the New York Times
AEgis Technologies and DigitalGlobe have combined for several custom projects including the Vancouver and Beijing Olympic games.
