The ORF (Austrian Broadcasting) has recently shown an documentation about Vexcel Imaging Graz, and their technology to make areal photographs and calculate altitude for designing 3D city models. Vexcel was aquired by Microsoft and their technology is used by Microsoft’s Virtual Earth Service. You can see the clip here, but unfortunately the language is German.

Just wanted to let you know the ‘Vexcel’ hyperlink has the wrong address: wexcel.com v. vexcel.com .
Thanks for the story…I’ll have to get my German friend to translate it!
Thank you for your hint. The mistake should be fixed now.
