Interactive 3-D map of Singapore to be ready by 2017
Singapore
AN interactive 3-D map of Singapore which shows the nation's aboveground structures such as trees, buildings and carpark lots will be available by 2017. Called Virtual Singapore, the S$73 million project - initiated by the National Research Foundation - will be more than just a map.
There are plans to develop solutions and simulations running on top of the map to help solve urban problems such as crowd control, noise levels and visualising mobile phone coverage areas.
