Andrew Trice I was checking out the PaperVision3D blog today, and stumbled across a really impressive data visualization technique used by the band Radiohead with the release of their new video for "House of Cards". You can check out the video here.



Why is this on insideria.com, you may wonder?


Well, here is a completely interactive version of the data visualization, complete with audio synchronization:
http://code.google.com/creative/radiohead/viewer.html


It was created using a modified version of PaperVision3D... Even more impressive, there were no cameras used to create this. Check out this quote from the google code site hosting the visualization:


No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes.

You can even download the data, and create your own visualizations from:

The interactive visualization online was definitely made with Flash though, you can right-click on it, and the Flash context menu is displayed.
