The Virtual House


This video is a combines several of my favorite technologies. In summary:
  • A hand held GPS was used to record coordinates and elevation points for the land.
  • A 3D interpolation algorithm was created to translate the GPS data into a DEM (Digital Elevation Model).
  • The DEM was imported, and the house drawn, using Google SketchUp.
SketchUp is my new favorite desktop application, moving Visio into second place...

More to come on these topics.
