Some cool photographs and scans from a little survey trip we did last year. Possibly the future...

Just thought I'd give this a bump, 125 views and only one comment?
Best if you play the vids and scroll the images...

I can't view this, perhaps my Broadband's too slow.

Not sure if I'm getting the full experience, there's a scroll button that doesn't seem to work and the frontpage (with text on it) disappears before you can read it?

Wonderful and amazing. Congratulations to the team.
You will need a decent computer and you need to realise how the unusual scrolling presentation works but when you do the whole slickness of the presentation adds to the experience.

WOW!....That was an amazing watch!
Well done to all the team...without your efforts, and people like you, we (the majority) would never be able to experience this amzing planet and what it has to offer....Brilliant guys, bloody brilliant :bow: :bow: :bow:

The present, surely?
My original reply seems to have gone astray, however it went something like this...
Yes, of course you are right. What I was suggesting was that this gives a glimpse into the future possibilities for cave surveys. If you go to the end of the piece and use your the scroll button you can see a sequence of Carsten Peter's photographs from the Miaos Room which are linked together by a 3D 'fly through' of the actual cave. The fly through goes from photo to photo and uses the 3D scan in between, which has been enhanced by the technical experts at National Geographic. They used the high resolution laser scan but added texture, light and shadow to the walls to give a more graphic image. With the likes of the hand held 'Zebbedee' laser scanner already on the market this sort of enhanced survey may become more common in years to come.

Seems a certainty and should revolutionise cave surveying.
