十大赌博正规老平台 Releases 虚拟旅游 of Elk, 北东, and Sassafras Rivers

安纳波利斯, 医学博士-今日, 十大赌博正规老平台 released virtual tours of three 河流 at the head of the Chesapeake Bay. Users can virtually travel down the Elk, 北东, and Sassafras Rivers from the perspective of a paddler with their computer, 智能手机, 或平板电脑, and also have access to a number of conveniences including geographic locations, 历史信息, 娱乐设施. 的保护 partnered with Richmond-based Terrain360.com to deploy their one-of-a-kind, custom-made boat equipped with six cameras mounted on the vessel 10 feet above the water’s surface which captures high-resolution 360-degree images. The cameras are controlled by a central computer, which also automatically captures GIS data, 天气数据, light data and directional data at 40-foot intervals.  These images were then stitched together to create a digital image map of each river, accessible by anyone with an Internet connection.  The virtual tours are available to the public on the 十大赌博正规老平台’s web site at erht.wsimobile180.com. “The 十大赌博正规老平台 believes that connecting people to the Chesapeake Bay and its great 河流 is critical to protecting and restoring the health of the watershed. However, it is difficult to make people fall in love with something they have never seen. While nothing beats seeing the beauty of the Chesapeake firsthand, these virtual tours take users into some of the more remote places in the region,” 十大赌博正规老平台 President and CEO Joel Dunn said. “例如, parts of the Sassafras River are too shallow for big power boats, 但非常适合划皮划艇. Our hope is that these tours encourage people to go out and experience these amazing places and help them plan their trips.” “Mapping these three 河流 was a great experience which spanned from rough weather to still waters,” Terrain360 cofounder Ryan Abrahamsen said. “We had to make several trips to the Sassafras due to rain, 创建40,000 images of the very secluded and peaceful river. 关于麋鹿, we faced a small craft advisory and enjoyed camping at Elk Neck State Park for several nights. The 北东 only took one day to map.” In addition to the Elk, 北东 and Sassafras, the Conservancy’s other 河景 virtual tours include the Nanticoke, Patapsco, 波多马克, 接受, 纽约, the main stem and West Branch of the Susquehanna, and the James in partnership with the James River Association. The 北东 River stretches five miles from 北东, Md. to the main body of the Chesapeake Bay and is entirely tidal. The Elk River is on the northern edge of the Delmarva Peninsula and runs for approximately 15 miles. Also on the Delmarva, the Sassafras River begins in New Castle County, Del. and runs for 22 miles between Cecil and Kent counties to the Chesapeake Bay.
