Service summary
SandMap visualises Earth observation and geospatial information onto 3D sand formations that respond to shape changes imposed by users in real-time. The main functions of SandMap include real-time adaptive visualisation of any 3D information (contours, inclination, visibility), as well as interactive similarity exercises to familiarise students with geography. It also offers adaptive scenario modelling by placing miniature coded objects on the sand (representing people, vehicles, etc), and a VR headset connection in order to virtually experience any area, its morphologic changes (e.g. landslides) and all Sentinel multi-spectral data in first person views. SandMap capital introduces a whole new scale of interactive education and adaptive modelling for decision makers, transforming Big spatial Data to Smart Data. It promotes geographic awareness as a novel interactive education tool. It also advances a wide range of modelling applications: Natural disasters, emergency management, security, agriculture, healthcare, e-Government and more. It is a must-have for every school and command centre.

The Expertise
«The jury selected the project SandMap because it successfully addresses the requirements and objectives of this challenge: It will make Sentinel data easier to use, it will bring the data very close to pupils and students, and it uses the new cloud-based e-infrastructure called DIAS. We congratulate the team of the Technical University of Crete on this promising project.»
