Using 3D Projection Augmented Landscape Modeling for Fire Management

The podcast episode explores the use of 3D projection augmented landscape modeling as a tool for fire management in Australia. Dr. Rowan Fisher and his team have developed a method to create tactile holographic simulations of landscapes using 3D printing and projectors. The simulations help incorporate satellite data and indigenous knowledge to understand and communicate fire behavior. By adding a fourth dimension of time to the simulations, the models provide a dynamic representation of fire movement. This technology fosters engagement and facilitates learning about fire management practices.
