AEgis Technologies Builds 3D Database for Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Huntsville, Alabama, (January 18, 2010) - In Spring of 2009, Digital Globe selected AEgis Technologies to build a three dimensional (3-D) database for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics in support of security and logistical agencies. AEgis considers this a great honor, as this was the second three dimensional database AEgis has developed for the Olympics, the first being the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The goal in constructing the database was to provide the most comprehensive 3-D landscape possible in support of various agencies roles in operational planning and situational awareness, key elements in the preparation for a large scale international event. The development of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics database was a very large effort that required multiple 3D modelers, texture artists, and geographic information system (GIS) analysts. Led by Scott Allman, AEgis Technologies Geospatial Programs Director, his team of 3-D modelers and texture artists built the most accurate and detailed models available for the varied landscape that encompasses the large Vancouver database. Tall downtown Vancouver buildings within a dense, urban area show the expertise of our modeling and texturing team. Seaside docking areas with giant cruise ships and container vessels exhibit the wide scope of modeling skills. Cruise ships constructed were modeled precisely after the actual cruise ships that will be used during the games for lodging within Vancouver harbor due to the vast number of potential attendees at the Winter Olympics. And the breathtaking Whistler ski resort models, detailed with intricate resort buildings and ski lifts, show why AEgis is a leader in the 3-D visualization world. AEgis’ in depth knowledge of terrain database development and integration of high resolution 3-D models into databases aided in this successful effort. With the ability to view the database at 60 frames per second, security forces can utilize the database using real time scenarios, line-of-sight (LOS), operational planning and disaster response. Also, because the virtual dataset is built upon open-source standards, it can be viewed in many different viewing applications. The dataset is also extensible, which allows the user to add or modify modeling archetypes within or on the virtual terrain. This allows the user that ability to place models of emergency vehicles, buildings, or even human models into the view shed for simulation. Since its founding in 1989, AEgis has been committed to honesty and integrity and has been recognized for its honorable business practices by recently receiving the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Ethics Award. The company’s highly skilled work force is dedicated to building lasting relationships and providing superior products and services to our customers.
