A step-by-step guide on how to launch potree is available here
- Look for your folder and click on any of the
HTMLfiles to visualize the showcase.
- The code found in this showcase is based on the Potree project, its examples and showcases.
- Potree is a free, open-source WebGL based point cloud renderer for large point clouds. It is based on the TU Wien Scanopy project and research projects Harvest4D, GCD Doctoral College and Superhumans.
- This showcase was created as part of the thesis "Virtual Geographic Environments for Education and Public Outreach in River Development. Showcase: The Erft River Restoration Project in Neuss-Gnadental, Germany" for obtaining the Master's degree Master of Science in the study program Integrated Water Resources Management at the Institute for Technology and Resources Management in the Tropics and Subtropics at TH Köln University of applied Sciences, Cologne, Germany under the supervision of the Dr. rer. nat. Georg Lamberty.
- The thesis is also part of the Valley of Mercy project, wich aims to developing a virtual teaching-learning space for the subject area "spatial development" using the example of the Erft restoration in Gnadental (Neuss)
- Part of the applied research project was financed by the Planungsbüro Zumbroich
