A 3dSkiMap is a 3-dimensional model of a ski area with an image overlay having the steepness or slope of each point coded with a color from a graduated scale, with green designating the least amount of slope, changing gradually through blue, to red, to yellow which designates the highest amount of slope. An orthographic aerial photo of the ski area overlays on top of that to show the location of wooded and impassable areas, as well as man made features.
The overall effect is to give the user a general idea of the steepness of an area at a glance, and to give a clear picture of the changes in steepness of a particular trail or piste.
3dSkiMap is a trademarked term of 3dSkiMaps, LLC.
Need a VRML plugin to view 3D content? The new models work best with Media Machines Flux Player, but it only runs on Windows at this time. By the way, if you'd like to work on a cool Open Source project to rectify that situation, check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/flux. Here are links to some others.
