Satellite imagery adds detail to BR's Curious Maps

Curious Software have supplied German broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) with an extensive selection of detailed satellite data, which the station are using to bring added realism to their map graphics
Curious Software introduced satellite data as an addition to their basic Curious World Maps software package at last year's IBC exhibition in Amsterdam. After watching a demo, BR placed a large order for highly detailed data covering Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Iraq, Iran and Israel.
Curious Software fulfilled the order at the beginning of 2003 and since then the broadcaster has been creating trial animations using Curious World Maps software, satellite data, Curious' own 3D Export option and 3D Studio Max - a third party 3D animation system.
