A new view on the Elbe: Dynamic and interactive 3D views for public information purposes in news media

Abstract

In collaboration with the German newspaper WELT, a team of researchers from HafenCity University Hamburg developed new views of the River Elbe, showing the riverbed in a couple of 3D interactive views and videos. These have been integrated into a multimedia special which follows the goal to give people better insights into the complex topic of the fairway adjustment of the Elbe. This contribution describes input data as well as its processing and visualisation.
