About / Team
This web site is a part of a project on developing virtual 3D model of the Valley of Geysers in Kamchatka, Russia. We want everybody to get full information about the Valley of Geysers
and to have a chance to travel virtually to this unique place.
We are now working on two versions of the model. It is free Internet model based on open KML format as well as detailed stereo 3D model for stereoscopic projection systems and 3D displays. Both versions represent the same information but use different landscape models.
Project is run by a team of enthusiasts based on the Institute of Computing for Physics and Technology (ICPT, Protvino, Moscow region, Russia). We are supported by Kronotsky Natural State Biosphere Reserve (Elizovo, Kamchatka region, Russia), Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Far Eastern Branch of Russian Academy of Science (IVaS FEB RAS, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka region, Russia), Kamchatkan Experimental and Methodical Seismological Department, Geophysical Service of Russian Academy of Science (KEMSD GS RAS, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka region, Russia), R&D Center ScanEx (Moscow, Russia). We receive partial financing from Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR, Moscow, Russia).
We wish to say thank you to all people participating in the project and supporting us.
