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: http://www.youtube.com/group/houseofcards Original video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nTFjVm9sTQ Making of video with great images of LIDAR in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyQoTGdQywY Renee
