Design Method of the Marine Ecosystems Archive that Use Digital Globe

Abstract

In this study, we propose a method of digital archive of information about the marine ecosystem. Information about the marine ecosystem is a multi-dimensional information, including the time axis. However, the appropriate means to do a digital archive so you can view these to overview holistic information did not exist. Therefore, by using appropriate VR technology, we intend to establish the content to be extended allowing a cross-reference of pluralistic information about the ocean, and a participation for user in the construction of a digital archive. As an example implementation of the present study, we cite "Yoron Diver", digital archive content of marine information in Yoron Island. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, it is valid to be displayed overlaid on the digital globe with data submitted by users, three-dimensional terrain models of the seabed, and photographs undersea. If this approach is used, this is possible to prompt a deeper understanding for users.
