This is a very neat 'application" of remote sensing...
actually...it gives rise to the idea of "sensing" (IMHO)
or could it be Goodchild's VGI? :-)

Hi Everybody,

Trying to figure out how to introduce your students to the use of
lasers/active sensors in geospatial imaging? Well, here's the killer app
from the band Radiohead. From their site:

"In Radiohead's new video for "House of Cards", no cameras or lights
were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about
the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created
entirely with visualizations of that data."

To learn more about it, go to
http://code.google.com/creative/radiohead/. There'll you find a viewer
and THE RAW DATA so you/your students can create their own
visualizations of the data.

Upload the visualizations here:
