Nextspace has been working with Auckland Council for their plan of “Creating the world’s most liveable city” – see http://www.theaucklandplan.govt.nz.
The video showcases the flythrough of the 3D Digital Auckland model to describe the “Transformational Moves” for urban growth. The 3D Visualization work and model was created by Nextspace.
Impressed with how Auckland University geologists have been using Nextspace’s 3D visualisation technology to advance their understanding of earthquakes, the Australian Government Office of Spatial Data Management asked the company join their ceBIT exhibit.
Yesterday RelaxNews International ran a story ”3D city visualization technology helps mitigate earthquake risks: CeBIT Australia” highlighting some of the technologies Nextspace would be showcasing at the CeBIT exhibit.
“To demonstrate its advanced visualization technology, Nextspace will “model the magnitude, place and time of the hundreds of earthquakes that shook Christchurch from September 2010 until early May of this year.”
The company will also example how real-time streaming of vast 3D urban models can be used by Sydney’s Emergency Response Unit to enhance people’s understanding of disasters such as bushfires, floods, earthquakes and acts of terrorism whilst also informing emergency services of optimal emergency access routes or potential risks and hazards during a crisis situation”

Todays ‘The Business’ in the NZ Herald ran Anthony Doesburg’s story about Nestpace’s interesting work with IESE.
“The institute, with IT company Nextspace, is developing a 3D system for displaying seismic effects, with a view both to understanding Auckland’s risks, and creating technology that can be exported.”
“Auckland Mayor Len Brown has been shown the system’s potential with a 3D display of the Canterbury earthquakes.”

The Sunday Star Times ran an article last week featuring a powerful illustration by Rachel Ryan of Nextspace. ‘An exodus to turn around’ is the first of a two-part series on the Christchurch CBD. “February’s earthquake was so massive it destroyed hopes of repairing the CBD. Now the enormous task is reinvention and building anew.” Article by Rod Oram.

Scientists from the University of Auckland’s Institute of Earth Science and Engineering (IESE) are using Nextspace’s interactive 3D visualisation technology to model geological activity.
The newly opened “IESE-Nextspace 3D Visualisation Centre” will project an interactive 3D virtual environment of Auckland’s subterranean rock layers, permitting an underground view of Auckland and alerting scientists to potential hazards.
TVNZ ran a story last night referencing Nextspace’s partnership with the IESE.
