- at the Popkomm 2007 they will also give their virtual 3D debut.

The core of the application, which will also be distributed on 10.000 DVDs to the visitors of the music fair, is the LandXplorer technology of 3D Geo GmbH. "With 'See the Music' the official city model of Berlin will become an
entertainment and special interest information platform. The LandXplorer products make it easy to extend the official city model by integrating additional points of interests." says Marc Hildebrandt, CEO of 3D Geo GmbH.

The background: As the first city worldwide, Berlin brought its three dimensional city model into Google Earth, in 2007. The technology base for Berlin in 3D was developed by scientists of the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) for software system technology. The 3D model software, the close to reality impressions as well as the presentation techniques in Google Earth were provided by 3D Geo GmbH, a spin-off of the HPI.

Developed in Potsdam, the 3D software 'LandXplorer' makes it possible to process largest data volumes automatically and thus transforms two dimensional representations of reality, elegantly to the third dimension.
With the '3D Geo Creator' the 3D models are transferred into the format supported by Google Earth.

The new service "see the music" will be online today around 3 o`clock p.m.:
