    SiliconAlps.tv presents Carinthian High Tech Start-Ups

    0

    Georg Holzer has started his newest project called SiliconAlps.tv. It is a web based video channel, which introduces Carinthian start up companies. Many companies, which were shown so far are coming from the Lakeside Park Klagenfurt, a habitat for small software companies. I’m working at Klagenfurts Lakeside Park and know a lot of the companies and people working there. Video #4 from Liscon is very interesting. From the two guys I should have learned programming, and they are funny and really smart (and by the way Linux fans). I’ll never forget that we have to write Gerhad Schadens exam for “Programming 2″ on a Sunday morning in the mid of the summer holidays – Those were the days… And by the way thank you for your lectures.

    (For my english only readers, I’m sorry the embeded video is available in german.)

    The idea of the video channel is great. I hope a lot of people recognize this portal.

    Virtual Klagenfurt – Streetview in Carinthia (Austria)

    2

    Klagenfurt is the capital of the federal state of Carinthia (where I live) in Austria. It has a population of over 90,000 people, making it the sixth-largest city in the country. Klagenfurt is also a host city of the EURO 2008 which will take place next month in Switzerland and Austria. Now there is a cool new service simmilar to Google’s Streetview available, where you can see georeferenced Panoramas of the city. The great thing here is that there are also photos of walking areas available.

    Screenshot of the Site:

    (Click on the image to enlarge)

    If you are interested you can also see it live at http://www.virtual-klagenfurt.at/

    Unfortunately there is no information who has implemented this service. But I suggest this is a private project. The service is also relatively new therefore users have the posibillity to report errors.

    One of the biggest aerial maps in Villach

    0

    The 160m² large aerial photo map includes the Dreiländereck Austria-Italy-Slovenia, and is located in Villach, Austria. The three regions of Carinthia, Friuli and Slovenia can be playfully explored from the air: The 160m² large orthophotograph showning parts of Carinthia, Italy and Slovenia is one of main attractions at the new shopping center ATRIO in Villach. 6000 sq. km of the earth’s surface are displayed here in a scale of 1:8000. That allows to display objects in a very large detail: Persons can cross the boarders of three countries, but also individual houses, bridges, cars on the street, trees and many other details can be discovered.
    vkarte_oskar_hoeher_lg.jpg

    To produce such a great map  several thousand actual flight recordings have to put together, the pictures have to be rectified geometrically and the different coordinate systems of the countries have to fit together. Also shadows has to be maniputated that it appereas that all pictures has been taken on the same time.
